thanks!
I've seen one called a "roadster" ....it wasn't a true convertible....it didn't have a top. It was pretty radical. I'm pretty sure it will be the ONLY ONE with one of these!!!!!

Yea it's 427......I don't know the price of the block.....I purchased a complete long block built for boost.

Here is the artist drawing of my project (well at least part of it). I'll save the rest for later. It's kind of like Thanksgiving......you knew that second plate full was too much!!!!!!!

As I said....we still have a lot of work to do.

Next task is to weld up all the seams in the engine bay and fill all holes that aren't needed. Then weld up all unsightly areas underneath the car.
The entire bottom of the car will be painted and cleared Venon Red Metallic to match the body.

Then install the engine, tranny and rearend. Then disassemble and send to paint.

Chech out my 'shock wave" air ride system!!!!! The taped up suspension parts are powdered coated gunmetal gray.
