Just like I was saying to you on Saturday over the phone Brian, 14x6 stock wheels, with correct dog dishes and blackwalls, or those polished torq thrusts.
Yep, change of plans... I just traded the 20's for a set of 17" Torq-Thrust II's and 5 - 14x6 JK Wheels. Pics later tonight.

Good looking car But then I have a thing for a six two. Maybe when I finish mine I will road trip it to Texas and we can take a cruse with the 62's

I cleaned up the Offenhauser 5492 High Rise Intake and adapted a factory shield to the bottom of it.

I had these tucked away in the corner of the garage and completely forgot about them. I think I am going to use these instead of the original valve covers.

Looks great Brian....I like those valve covers. I have heard there are some fitment issues with them but I am sure you will figure that out....
I second that. A very nice classic look, timeless.
Aww man not another Tow truck motor conversion.
I hear ya John! We need to get together soon. Have you run it sinceyou put the new rear in?
Sorry for the lack of updates on this project. I had to go to Virginia due to a death in the family and my youngest sisters wedding. Good and Bad times this trip.
I left Virginia yesterday (driving) at 8:30 am and pulled up in my driveway at 8:10 am this morning. 1500 miles in less than 24 hours! ok, I am a walking zombie right now so if none of this makes sense it's because I should have gone to bed when I arrived instead of checking in here. I do have my priorities straight don't I?!!! :takethat
Anyway, I came home to boxes of parts and Phil will be sending the rest out this week. I hope to have the 283 removed and the new 409 in place by the weekend.
Lots to do..gotta get sleep now.
