Thats a serious bummer, 35Ford. Kudos for not giving up right there. That's a great looking job, moparme. Where did you get that firewall panel? I really tried to stay away from it until fall but it just kept pulling at me. I saw a guy with a 40 Ford at the local Arby's and was checking out his LS1 carburator conversion kit. Very cool...I couldn't hold back after that.
