      Nice. Those aren't the police buckets my brother has. His are very comfortable. They're like brand new too.

      Better 0-60 times? I'd think the gears alone would make a huge difference. The carb/ intake is still a restriction though.

        Original 0-60 was about 13 seconds, now it'll run about 11 seconds. Not as big of an improvement as I was hoping for, but as soon as I get the 4 bbl intake on there and a decent exhaust system it ought to get down where it belongs. 7-8 seconds would be nice.

          Very nice man! Where are the pics of the bodywork you did? You have any pics of the engine all buttoned up yet?

            Thanks, Zack! The bodywork...I'm a little ashamed to post it because it's unfinished and didn't turn out that great. I think I should just have you do it! I don't have any finished pix of the engine...I could take some, but the top of the engine (valve covers, intake) aren't painted, so it still kinda looks like doo doo.

                You car looks much better as far as rust than my wagon did (and still does underneath). If you still have rocker panels, be glad cause I don't!

                    You mean a pic of the hitch itself or the car with the hitch mounted? Either way, no, but I can take one.

                              So rusty that the rockers are gone? Is that the wagon you just painted? Did you fab new rockers? Man... totally rusted out rockers. Now thats rusty!

                                Yep, she's long gone--gone before I ever got the dern thing. Whenever I get into the passenger side door and pull on that padded door pull I say to myself, "Gee, that feels nice! Forgot how good it is to have padding on there!" lol

                                How much for the new pull?
