I finally have this car done to 97%. I say this since they are never really "done". It started life as a 318 car and now has a 1964 426 wedge (+0.060") Lots of performance parts. All good stuff. Looking to race it this spring. Hoping for 12 's. I'll post once the front end hits the timing lights.

Well, my 64 Polara 426W (+0.060) is on the street. Not legally yet, but on it anyway. Its not perfect, but I'm not out to impress anyone but me. I built this car from a rough start and have all the photos to prove it. It is resurrected. Most everything works too. The engine runs great with no...

Hood scoop hole cut, scoop on, and it fits perfectly over air filter. Now I just have to align the hood and add some hardware.

While the work has slowed significantly due to a bulged disc pressing on my sciatic nerves I have assigned myself to small item work that need done anyway. I will have some outpatient surgery on 9/17 that should take care of this. So here are some small things I've done in the meantime. Painted...

Wow! These Polara badges came out awesome. The were silver on silver and I want my trim accent to be black. I finished these today and man, they really pop against the bright white. I also included a couple pics of my new Cope transmission. Sweet. John Cope is an awesome guy to deal with. I...

My car is a 64 Polara 2DHT. Lived formerly as a mild mannered 318. Will soon be reborn as a 426 wedge (also 64 vintage) at 438 CID. It will have 915 heads with Manley valves. Comp cam/ lifters and springs. 750 Holley 2X pumper. Hedman headers. The rotating assembly has just been balanced and...

I hate to tell you how much of that old FL dirt road fell in my eyes in spite of eye protection. Now, on to the front end parts. Out with the old and in with all new.

A work in progress now that I have retired. 318 is out and a 1964 426 wedge will go in its place once all the body work is nearing completion.
