EV2DEMON OP The Camaro Kid Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 6,608 Indiana	Time to start a thread about my Dad's project from the past couple of years. It all started with a relatively clean 65 Belvedere he picked up a few years ago, a 392 Hemi he had sitting in the garage, a sawzall, and a welder. The car was pretty solid, a 318 auto. It needed typical rust repair, but a nice foundation for a hot rod project. 7387958-Picture004.jpg (181 downloads)

Axle is from an A-100, narrowed 2 inches in the middle. Springs were custom made for the car. 7387968-November08019.jpg (178 downloads)

The motor is actually relatively mild, we don't really have any ET expectations at this point. It's basically a 392 with a blower cam, 8.5:1 compression, and 6-71. It's underdriven a litle bit right now to be pump gas friendly.
