Some old school restoration

[KooK]

One day, she will live once again. I'm actually turning the torsion bars down in the back, putting on my lowered front kingpin, tossing the body and putting another 58-63 body back on it and going old school with it. This is back in the old baja days. I have a thing for 200hp cars that weigh about 1500-1800lbs. As soon as I get the ole Ford runnin again, it'll be her turn. If anybody has a good solid body they are willing to part with, please let me know! It will NOT be chopped up, and will be put to good use.

Looks very very nice :tu:

I went with the highest compression I could on a 2110cc, I chose that size due to the bores being nice and thick to help with cooling. Dual 44 IDF webers feed the thing and I really should get the specs back out of the cam. Other then that, it's mounted onto a Bus IRS that I converted to fit the back, the front came with a kingpin that was modified and lifted, I have a new one in my garage that has 3" lowered spindles and discs on the front that I will use.

Hopefully once she gets back together, it will look mostly stock, just lowered, little wider wheels and the lid drawn back for a little more air to the engine. I'm thinking either a deep purple with a silver two tone or just all out black Cal-Look.

Nice!

Sounds like a great engine ;)

We've got a '69 in the same deep purple that you are talking about.
Frame up restoration with only about 3500 miles on the engine and car after the resto. I believe its an 1811cc w/ upgraded carbs - not sure on the exact specs but its for sale ;)

Even though I'm only really in the market for a body, if the price is right, I just might! (I'm a poet and didn't even know it!) *Damn that was lame*
