Sadly 1 of 2 tyres went missing in transit and its ended up in Sydney in quarantine how bazaar...
before anyone offers up some 15x15 tyres, Rod wont run 2nd hand tyres, importing your own means you get fresh rubber not something that has been sitting around going hard..
Well next time..

hi Jeff
i dont think this has been as long as your coupe, from memory you were building your coupe before i got my Pursuit

this has however been a very long & large re-built, it started out as an engine rebuild for the Monza & has finnished up being a complete nut & bolt rebuild of the Pontiac

in hind sight i should of just ordered a new car from the US & it would of been done with by now

we were hopeing to come out & have a skid at the AFF Drag Day but sometimes the best laid plans go astray

how close is your car

we will have to catch up

regards
rod

I think my XA rebuild will be shown on the history channel if it goes on any longer. I have rebuilt the motor but not put the geardbox and clutch back in. Then there is the wiring .
I will have to swing down and say hello soon, it's been a while.

I love the sheetmetal look. This is mine. Its a Big Block Buick. The block is been cast as we speak in the US. The heads I have which for small ports flow 380 cfm @ .600".
Hopefully have it running by end of year.
