I was thinking a simple little 318 with chrome wire wheels

Friend of mine has a 28 Franklin, man crazy car air cooled and aluminum body. Runs great only two known to still exist.
But it's not an A body
It's ok I have one of these "other cars" memike is racing a Mustang so your good.
It's "a" body but not an "A" body
@memike is racing a drag car that happens to have a rustrang cover.
(Chebby powerplant?)But dang that's fast
273? Someone mention 273?Lots of effort for a weekend cruiser. I'm interested in the theory and want to understand the process but unlikely I would implement. Focus now is mechanical functionality and presevation.
"Stabilize the patient" as it were.
I'd like to try my hand at an early 273 build down the road. Maybe then
How's things on the farm?
273 build thread link just below.
Check the trunk

Well I’m hoping to find out today. I will update of courseLots of effort for a weekend cruiser. I'm interested in the theory and want to understand the process but unlikely I would implement. Focus now is mechanical functionality and presevation.

That’s kind of cool.
Yeasssir.
Future plan for the Valiant. Current front end and suspension work is foundation for the move. Reinforced K and LCAs, upgraded T-bars (Shout out to @Mopar Tim ). My understanding is that there would be minimal mechanical changes on the 64.
No rush.. it would be something to learn with.
It was the look...the car they were killed in was stolen from here in my hometown.
OK boys. Time to get at it.

Ours was in the basement, just needed to be cat and dog proof. LOL. Actually it originally was in a 'crate' I had made when one of the dogs was a pup. The hutch I made mostly from wood I had. I did buy plastic coated 'hardware cloth' and a masonry mixing pan. I set it up so the pan slid under on rails to catch all the horrible excretions that cute little fuzz ball produced.

Funy we had one also. Pickles. He had a hutch that was half inside half outside through a basement well window.

If it were me and I had an early A, I’d build a hot little 360 to look like a factory 273.
Willy there is one at a decent price on marketplace I believe.
