Will you be putting back on what you can of the original front sheet metal? Highly modified of course?

It will have some of the front fenders but full doors and trunk lid will go back on. Going to skin the hood for advertising.

She's getting a fuel cell and some special treatment in the back, I think y'all will like it.

She's a keeper if she's cool with special treatment in the back....imo

Hard to beat those DOVE heads when it comes to stock 460 heads. Have you done any work to heads? What pistion are you running and is block stock bore and deck height?

The heads have a little port work done with good springs and the shortblock is all stock, should be around 10-10.5 compression.

This thing is quite possibly the baddest build thread Ive seen on here, Talk about thinking outside of the box. Very cool

All you'll need when completed is one of those visor's with the built in spike hair/mullet out the back!!! Seriously though, Cool build. You needed the car my dad has in the junkyard though, wagon with the faux woodgrain siding!

badass build for sure. Subscribed :dblthumb:

Thanks for the compliments! I don't build $30,000+ rigs because I simply can't afford it, it does make me proud to see the enthusiasm of something I have built. I try to do things a little different from the norm, sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't. One thing y'all probably noticed is the black pipe instead of DOM, I know it's not desirable but lets face it it's cheap and if I paid for DOM I wouldn't have this built at all. Once again thanks for the support!

Cool. Should done rear engine style with the hatchback. Going to be original though.

This is actually a trunk car.

Pure awesomeness!!! :****: drool

This build rocks. The only thing I see needed to take this build thread to the rockstar level would be if your welding hood has a built in Mullet..... :woot:

This build rocks...Keep it coming!

96crawler · Mar 12, 2014

Some butt porn!!

That's for all the "Don't hit it in the back!" comments. My ass is protected!!

This is awesome, I predict a trend setter here...... I own a jeep and am sick of looking at jeeps...... I have been thinking of a ratrod style crawler / bouncer just to change it up....... The pinto is tits.
