whats your motor plans, 351w, or maybe a little more radical such as a stroker 410w?

Thats too easy for Chuck.

Chuck is the total opposite of the "build a tried and true" car. He comes up with ideas, as radical and off the wall as they are, and does what he can to achieve those ideas.
It's Gumby's fault.

The car is a direct representation of Chucks personality.  Pretty ugly on the outside, but cool on the inside when you learn what it’s made of.


HEY!  I resemble that remark :flip:

Honestly, I don't really know at this point what the powerplant will be.  The 302 runs at the moment, and once I ditch the auto it will be liveable for a while so I can mess with other stuff.

Ok, compare apples to oranges.

Yes I think the 83-84's are pure shag when done right (as I have 2), but I also realize not everyone like the Box cars.... makes no nevermind to me.

Chuck, I was just razzin ya.  My tires are ridiculous anyways and I'm considering putting my Cobras on this bird.  I like the box Foxes too, got many a friend with hot rodded Fairmonts; hell my brother has a Fairmont wagon.

So keep on keepin on, I need to get up UNDER this car and start fixing some stuff there.  Like the dead struts and shocks, leaky p/s pump, etc..

I love the boxed birds. just not crazy about the color scheme (on yours, though it makes it unique), I love the big larger than life boats of yesteryear. We have boats now, but arn't as grace full.

Can you check it out and get a closer look?  A pic or two perhaps?  Maybe check on pricing on driver door and hood?

Let me know.

Thanks
