Here is a video of my buddies 1970 BB coupe. He has been working on it now for about 3 years. Finally about a 2 weeks ago he fired it up for the first time. The car started quicker than any car with a new motor in it than any I have ever been around.

They are Coys. 18X9.5 in the rear. 18X8 in the front. I will have to see if I can get some more info on the tire sizes.

[QUOTE=cilrah]Hey Joel, look alittle forward in his pictures, here the answer to the Hood problem Thumbs%20Up[/QUOTE]

That was supposed to be the answer to the hood question. Well, it has not quite worked out like we wanted it to. That does not clear the cleaner just yet. We may have to do a little modification to the hood yet. On Mikes side, it does have a carb spacer under the carb right now so with that coming out it may help it fit. I was thinking maybe a smaller air cleaner would help. It is hard to get a smaller drop base air cleaner for a 1050 Dominator carb though. I think if we cut the base down to a smaller diameter, run a smaller diameter K&N filter and lid it might just work. Wits%20End
