I am keeping it stock except I may change the seat to buckets. I have a 68 lemans that is next. It will get a heart transplant 455 and possibly a tremec transmission!

Latest project is my bro's 09 road king classic. A lot of gloss black powdercoat mixed with some chrome, lowering and wheels. 21 inch 120 spoke front and 18 inch 120 spoke rear.

tremec is the way to go for OD gearbox and you will need one for the toruqe that 455 will put down!, the 73 in my pics ended up white with orange stripes and I had a 350 w/vortec heads and a t56 for it but sold the body before it got that far, would have been my daily driver (now my bike is my DD)
I have stooped working on hot rods for now, its just so much cheaper to build a bike and I just can't afford to do both
