my 64 Chevy II
I am tubbing this ride I have had for 15 years.I drove it to school and every where.it was a straight 6 when I bought it for 800 dollars.then later on I installed a wore out 350then later on built a real motor a 11:1 355 dart heads and so on and ran a best of 7.25 1/8. then it just was to to much for the shape the car was in.now I have a 600 horse 468 big block and a heidts front clip so now its time for the rear to have a big 14x32 tire and a 9" ford rear. I am building a whole new 2x3 chassis front to back.so far I am just getting everything apart and cut out.this has been a long time coming and finaly decided it wasnt going happen if I didnt get started.as you will see I cant get much from some of my help. before I started   my jig to build the car on

That's going to make a nice ride Brad, I'm hoping to remove my front this winter to install a new tubular suspension. Rick
