Loved my 70 Chevy Chevelle black and silver bored out engine overhead cam 4 on the floor and no one could beat me! Of course I had some serious racing skills! Thanks for featuring it!!
I really enjoyed your videos (3-part series) on the 1957 Thunderbird build.Very informative and detailed coverage from start to finish. Is it possible that you might be able to answer a few questions on the build? I live outside of Vancouver,Canada and I am presently working on the same model t/bird with a 5.0 Coyote engine with a 10 speed transmission.
What is the brand name of the mufflers with the oval tubing and what are the size of the tires used? Is the car is raked at all?
With much appreciation and many thanks.
