Thanks Dale. Botari that little Pinto has to be one radical ride! I Love it. :twisted:

BTW, did you build that engine? I appreciate the coating they used inside. The size of those stud mounted poly locks on those roller rockers are pretty big! :mrgreen:

Fat Tony
That is one sweet cruiser :s002:

Bet it turns a lot of heads when it's out cruising. As said before, car guys for the most part are car guys. I continually razz my wife about her '98 Grand Am GT (she likes Pontiacs as well as Mopars) but it's a nice little car that gets the job done.
RTSE, you can make my Shelby a '67 500KR and add a 69 ZL1 Camaro, '70 Trans Am and AMX for the corners. Of course these will all sit back behind the most complete collection of Mopars that the largest Powerball lottery could finance :mrgreen:

Oh, I see the girdle is off at the moment the pic was taken. I am going to do the same with the glyptal for oil return on my project Stroker as well. 7500 RPM is stout, and I bet it sounds sweet at that RPM's! That car has to be scary fast! Do you know what it would do in the 1/4?
