    all the receipts are at the shop. Call Summit on the phone and tell them what you got and they will hook you up. I might be able to get the numbers today, gonna go out and get a progress report.

    need a 9in. for the new motor

    I just bought a full Currie 9in package from Summit for $2350 delivered. Bite the bullet and do it this way so you don't have to worry about the rear end for a long time.

    Food for Thought

    If I went by what my wife, employees and friends say then yes I am a kid. :D Also keep in mind if anyone is spending money on a car no matter how much or little the enjoyment of owning and restoring your car has a pricetag. I value happiness which is why I enjoy numerous hobbies...

    Food for Thought

    Here is my problem with this statement. For those of us that can afford it and just WANT the "400HP+" it all comes down to what I WANT. I like horsepower and lots of it. I have a V-12 Mercedes (389 HP), had a 2001 R1 that was stroked, bored, titanium connecting rods you get the picture...

    Help me locate a stock looking radio for my 68

    I have a stock 68 and want a FM radio (modern or old style). This car is bone stock and I would think someone out there makes a stock looking FM radio for this car. Anyone heard of who has this? Stock looking is the key. I could even go for a 68 model FM radio if one can be located...

    Where to start?

    Sorry to say this but I am a little confused. You state you have a show car (I read into this that you have some money) but this show car is waiting for you to buy "gears" and other stuff from your friend. Can you define what you mean by a "show" car? With the above being said now you...

    another 8" vs. 9" debate...

    yep, mine was $2350 for the rear end. Add $2650 for the transmission, $8000 for the engine, $2400 for the coil over front and at least $3000 for all the other goodies and counting. I hope my wife does not see this because I would have to buy her a new set of boobs or something. :D

    another 8" vs. 9" debate...

    we were just joking about this today. As some of you know I am in the middle of a build up right now which includes amoung other things a 9 inch rear end (which was installed today). spend the money now and not worry about it again even if you add another 100hp. Add 100hp on the 8 inch...
