Some of these guys didn't really get what I was asking but I did get some direction for my next venture. I am working on a 76 Volare, kinda putting it together without going nuts and keeping it low budget. As of right now I have less than 3000 in it and most parts already purchased for it. With paint and interior I will be into it 6500 max. Attached is a link to a build thread. Did you ever build that monster blown motor? https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbt...tml#Post2116859

I sold my iron block to Tim at FHO to get an aluminum KB block but all of that went sour and I couldn't find another block so I sold off a few things. Now I found another block and it is with Tim and he is putting together a short block kit but now I have to buy heads and rocker assembly again. Probably going to do a 572. Still doing house reno's so no worky on the car and reno's have been slow as I am very busy with work and the weather the last three months has been crap.

This post Wanted to know what kind of car donates their suspension the best for open wheeled type of rod. But on a low dollar build, swap meet or scrap yard parts.
For example, is a mid 90s corvette a good doner, or earlier ect.
I know the Mustang two but not easy to find. and this post Some of these guys didn't really get what I was asking but I did get some direction for my next venture. I am working on a 76 Volare, kinda putting it together without going nuts and keeping it low budget. As of right now I have less than 3000 in it and most parts already purchased for it. With paint and interior I will be into it 6500 max. Attached is a link to a build thread. Did you ever build that monster blown motor? https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbt...tml#Post2116859 do not jive. No open wheeled Volare that I am aware of and if you went that route the last bit of ugly noticed would have been the front suspension. Now for the Volare I'd consider this https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbt...-questions.html
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Really, you don't read all that is written do you? The word "NEXT" is pretty important to the statement.
I was asked what I was building (cooking) now so I answered am building a volare now, and referenced my build thread in projects forum.
I posted this thread in street rods because I am looking into building another car but it may be open wheeled, or at least suspension components will be more visible than a full bodied car.

You poorly word your posts.
Current project vs future project. Your original posting said nothing about future project at all. Why bother to bring up the Volare if it's not germane, look it up, to the question at hand? That is why no one, but you apparently, can understand what it is you are asking.
One cannot read your mind.
