| LOOKING GREAT CHARLIE!! Just curious...what are the rules governing fuel injection for your class? Have you thought about this option, or is it even allowed? It seems that dialing in your a/f mix might be made easier by using a throttle body type injection, and they are capable of making stupid power...if that's even an option (the injection, not stupid power )

| Thanks Todd. The Classic class (1981 and older) has a benefit of not having to run against modern aerodynamic bodies, but are not allowed to use non oem efi or sensor controlled engine management systems with a feed back loop. However, mechanical fuel injection is OK (which means dialing is done at the end of each run). I have a set of Hilborn mechanical injectors (not the Y-Block units) and a fuel pump to go with it, but I haven't decided to use it yet. This weekend I was visiting my kids in LA and I was 20 minutes away from the Hilborn office. I would have liked to visit with their techs, but just didn't want to take the time. I wanted to ask them about the flow capabilities of what I had and what was needed to finish up the system. Perhaps next visit or I'll call them.

| Ride height is set, now to secure the suspension and axle to the frame. 
It will look a little lower to the ground with bumpers and air dam or splitter installed.

| Charlie, I did a job under the hood of a 60 comet for a guy about 5 years ago, it was so rusty under there when he turned the wheel the box would flex in the frame instead of the wheels turning, he wondered why his car was all over the road. I installed all new front end bushings etc, everything cleaned, patched and painted. $2500.00 worth of work under the hood alone. 
Before repairs. 
After repairs 
The Massive 144 CI after completion.

That's scary! That guy is lucky the steering box didn't fall out while traveling down the road! Nice work there Billy, you made quite a transformation. Even with through-bolt sleeves it's amazing what those sheet metal frames will hold. There are some advantages to living in the east, but cars do so much better out here in the west.

They sure do, thats why my cars come from out that way. I welded in new bushings in his frame and made all patching look like it was original.

The new Popular hot rodding is asking for reader projects, pictures and what you hope to do with the car. Maybe you could send in you info on the comet or you truck, or both!
