...What I'm going to try to accomplish is to put together a 1970's street machine, the kind of cars that were in every American kid's driveway during my youth.
Welcome to FABO. I got bored with the numbers matching stuff, so when I built my Demon I wanted to go with the early 70's "day two" look. My car represents what was a common look on a Saturday night at the local Burger Chef on Michigan Ave in 1972. I used an Edelbrock LD-340 intake, original Direct Connection valve covers, retro Autometer Tach, 833 4-speed trans and manual steering to give the car the look, performance and feel I was after. Of course all the modern upgrades are out of sight.
Good luck with build, you and your son will have a great time.
