Do keep in mind horsepower figures back then were gross, not net.  Figure about a 20% difference on most cars.  Also, the most powerful of the muscle cars were sometimes underrated, but others were...ummm...optimistic.

My '67 Cougar got several times as many honks and thumbs up as my '07 GT500 did. Of course, the GT500 had over double the horsepower, but it was invisible by comparison. Guess which one I still own?  ;D

I don't want to see the radiator support...or have to look that closely to notice it has a grille.

The builder was all about people 'not' noticing things sticking out. To my eye that sticks out.

I still like it. [thumbsup]

I'm pretty sure that's chicken wire.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.
