    After 10 years of waiting for the right time and the right money- here we go. My family and I are working to achieve one of our dreams of having a pro street. For many people, it sounds impossible; but with dedication, effort, and much money sike Very Happy it is possible. Here are the first photos.

    going pro street with my 65 baby Empty Sweet I'm thinking of doing the same.

    Post by Lyrad Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:38 am

    Howdy.... I just bought a 69 and want to do the same. Question why did you cut your rear frame? I want to stick some big slicks on my project, but didn't think that cutting the frame was necessary. I'm new to this awesome site, your project is way cool.

    Thanks in Advance

    Welcome Lyrad!!! Don't think you have to cut the frame, but might what to move the rear shocks. Bet he's putting on a narrowed rear end and customizing the frame to fit it

    Pic #5 looks like a double exposure? Or is that a piece of temp floor to facilitate the engine install? When I did my 6cyl motor swap on my '65
    (1983) I went through the bottom via a beam through the windows and a come along.
