Looking VERY nice. Perfect stance, and just about as clean as they get.

Good job!

It looks great Ed. I noticed that your running a 390 same as me. I've gathered parts to rebuild the motor, including a Eldebrock Performer. On the FE forum they tell me this manifold is no good. That I should use the Performer RPM instead. Is yours the Performer or RPM, and how do you like it?

Front stance is looking real good. Sounds like the Volare is dialed in.

Ed,

Very nice truck. Wish I could get there soon. Only thing I don't like is the Volare IFS. When are you going to cut that thing out and put in a Mustang II IFS? I hear it's all the rage in the south.

inquiring minds gotta know

Just like Bruce - what color "red" is that - really looks gooooood!

You wouldn't be trying to make that ol ford into a dodge / plymouth with Dodge Viper Red and a Volare front-end, would you ? ? ? ? ?

Close on the color. The builder mixed the paint. Family secret, he said.
