Did not see you in Shrewsbury last Friday, was hoping you would get back to me. That was the last one I will get to make it to this year because of work.

Sorry.....I took a break and forgot about the Shrewsbury show.

I know two separate people right now who don't know each other that are building from scratch six pak fuel injection systems. One is for a 440 and the other for 5.9 magnum.
me?, I like a carburetor or 3.

$400.00 new carb or $2,000.00 FAST EFI.
Not a tough decision for me.

$3599 for the Pro-Flo 2 EFI system.....doesn't include the expensive aluminum heads he has on the motor.

Well, that certainly settles it then...

Wow that car would scream though, it's only money

That would cover the restoration cost of the steering wheel.... dash pad.... and all the interior panels for my 61..... And i'd get chance back....

No brainer....:eusa_think:

Or a repaint for it in another color with more character.

Great idea ........

Great idea ........

In the case of my 61..... I have to agree.

my plan is to redo the car in a mid year release "sport tone" two tone option.. Original Alpine white below the beltline and emerald green that was avaliable in 61, above the beltline. The top will be a medium green vinal.

I'd like it better in monotone with just the contrasting interior. I have three white cars myself and like them despite the fact that I wouldn't have ordered them white if a had the oppurtunity to order from scratch. What I didn't like was this fashion mostly from the 80s to build cars that had no contrasting color at all with bumpers, mirrors, grille and every screw and rivet on the exterior in all white. That really looked boring.

I can't wait to see it. Those colors will look great!
