either way, I cant believe he got that dash into that car. I have had dashes out of both cars and they are very different in size
Not to mention a PITA to work with. The dash swap is a old trick, it was popular about ten years ago or so to swap the new edge dash into the fox, thoses were as easy as sectioning down the middle and changing some mounts and what nots i think the car as a whole is done well but it seams like a lot of work to be uniqe. We have a saying at our shop.... a dick growing from your fore head s different but is it better? This car could have been just as streetable with less money and time but thats my oppinon. Dont get me wrong, i know i am a hypocrate and i did all my work on my car to stand out, but mine took a total of four weekends to do and i regret it. Cars like this are good for magazines and boyhood dreams. A fox with a 331 and a vortech qnd good suspention like grip in a box will out perform the fox 500. As i grow older and wise-r i see things like this and i wounder why would you sink that amount of money into a play toy? I want my toys to be easy and cheap to run and service. Honestly i have a opportunity to get a 65 mustang and i am thinkin the best way to make it fast qnd cheap is to swap a LS 5.3 into it. If i scatter that engine that i can easly make 450 horse power on oh no i spend another two hundred dollars( that day) and will be runnin again that night. Sorry i have been sick for about twenty nine hours and got easely shook up.
I love the show cars from this erra. The ice truck and a fe others are far out. I love the suspentions on these as they are indy car inspired yet the bodies are that of rat fink style hot rods. There was also the beer wagon and the hitler helmet t-bucket as well. You know i think alls yalls should fnd t-buckets and bring them back, nothens hotter than a late sixties early seventies death bucket. Oh i cant wait!!!!!
