going pro street with my 65 baby

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 it is possible. Here are the first photos.

Great work & start - that will be a looker when finished!!

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

Thanks G-Man, Can any one tell me how much room there is from the back frame to the inside fender? what size slick can I put in there, I will do a tub but didn't want to cut the frame.

Mine tubs go right to the frame, I did move the shocks, here a link to a thread with pictures (it a big thread)

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.
