@MartyzCarz When i get my car done i want to spend a day like im in the 50's. Go to a Drive-In threater, and go to a Drive-In resturant. Also i'll dress classy with a nice button up shirt, tie, dress pants, shiny shoes and pompaed hair all slick and drink some coca cola out of the classic bottles. Just a classic day in wich i think the 50's where like. None of the bad like the races stuff but the good American classic fun of the 50's.

@06DESMARAIS I agree on that a much better time then nower days

@MartyzCarz I just dont want to have any engine that i cant have running. well if times change any we switch to much more of a better way of power to get around. i will some have put that engine i my car. but not cut anything, i'll try to work around parts or take parts off. like if i dont need a full tank for the engine. like the electic engine. But think they need to go back to those classic styles of the 50's. everthing in those days where classy.

@06DESMARAIS some V8s have good gas milage like Flathead Fords the engines last much longer too these new ones die after about 100,000 miles i saw a 62 Mercury Comet a lady got brand new it had almost 600,000 original miles on it i was gonna customize my Mercurys flathead for more power but im gonna leave it stock for fuel economy later i may add some poweri have a friend who wants to race against my car in a 2011 Mustang but for the most part 125 Horse Power is enough to get me where im going

@MartyzCarz yah, theres lots of classics cars that alot of people can restore. Thousands! but no they get bored and tose then to the side for a new car. Even though they where made in a factory, they have more care from the factory than new cars of today. I guess people dont drive then to much because of the V8 engines. And those engines take alot of gas and dont save any. But you could still get a lower engine to put in, theres no law of witch engine to have.
hows your car coming anyway? havent seen any videos in a while
