It has a 1953 276 (baby) Desoto hemi .40 over 4x2 intake hand ground cam turbo 350 trans with an adapter plate 1935 ford axle along with the wide five wheels on the back with adapters on a 9 inch custom built frame with air bags in the rear and some fatty whites! Here are a few pics..If they do not belong on here please delete.

So what's U do in your spare time..

Makes me tired just seeing all your doing in the man cave.

I remember when I was younger I had all kinds of energy, but little money.
Now I have the money but no energy.
Something's not right about life sometimes.

Bike is looking really good, and I like the paint.
