lol….I’m pretty anal with my stuff. It will be done and done right. Gonna make Bill proud or at least happy with the sale. Bill was a perfectionist too. Picked up the heads today. They are ready to go.

The PTC converter and old cam will both be up for sale too.

I tell you what you couldn't have found a more solid platform to start with

I agree mechanically everything was new.

 

[Mtrhead]

Yeah I watched and followed the build blew my mind he got rid of the car

FC7 is purple correct? This was my first choice.

Gimme plum crazy or give me death.
I love Fred, I have a few videos of Bill racing at my home track.
Bill is a great friend as well.

I could use help with picking a color tho. I was thinking hemi orange or in velvet purple.

That would be in Violet. Sure your auto spell correct screwed ya like it does to me every day.

Guys, I am the new owner of "Fred." I am very pleased with the car and couldn't be happier with the seller Bill. I will try and keep this post going. The car is off to paint and I had the cylinder heads redone. I ordered a Turbo Action Converter and am currently working with Racer Brown for a new cam selection. I will continue what Bill wanted for Fred. I am confident Fred will see a 9.99et this coming season!

Congratulations.

Excited to see what you do to the car and make it your own. Really solid base to start with and make better.

Is that the factory purple or a custom purple?

I would've painted my dart plum crazy, but thanks to Bill, I have about 2 gallons of my stock color. Many appreciates

I took pretty good care of it…till I decided to cut and buff with too abrasive of a compound

New build will have an engine diaper and hard blok to try and prevent that…butted ring, fractured piston, rod slapped through block and pan…oil + water = ice rink
