Default My notch is in the Car Craft Engine Swap Guide
I was pretty shocked to see this on the shelf this morning! I have been waiting for it to show up in a normal issue for the last few months.

A big thanks to everyone that helped out with info, a few sponsors from this site & some deals from the classifieds on here.

I have some pretty good friends that helped me a ton on this deal!

Thanks to Doug from CC for a cool spread in the magazine.

Very nice, and very similar to the one I am putting together! Although mine will be caged and have a few more creature comforts like AC and PS.

I don't ming not having PS, but have only driven on skinnies too. AC would be nice, but takes up too much room.

Yeah, going to try to work around things as best I can on the AC. This thing has tons more room that some of the other projects I have worked on. I just found out I have a shop with a mandrel bender RIGHT down the street! Will probably be expensive, but I figure anything I can mock up I can have him bend for me!
