That is one mean machine. Even if that video was short I got to hear it and it sounds awesome.

Great car, "It's the other 57"...……..

One question, who gets credit for the fenderwell headers?
Looks like a well made setup.

Just noticed you are in Osprey. I winter in Sarasota and sure would like to see your car. I have a '56 Chieftain wagon back in IL that runs low 12's. Let me know if we can get together.

I was going to comment on the headers also, as they look so cool. Sounds real nice too. Well done!

Hi Bob,
Sorry for the delay getting back to you. i missed your earlier post. I live in Sarasota now as well. I will be at Bradenton drag strip tomorrow. (Saturday March 9th). If tomorrow doesn't work just PM me.The headers were made by JR's Speed Shop in Venice FL. I also attached an interior shot.

Thanks,
Todd
