Well it has finally happened. I have located a car that is worthy of Kustomization. So tomarow after work i get to drive to Levenworth WA and look at it and drive it a bit. Make shure its what i want. Then its on the phone to my brother so he can chase me in his truck as i drive it from Levenwoth to Spokane, then i have to get back to McChord and go to work. All that must happen in 12 hours. Sounds fun huh?
Oh yeah and what is the car? A 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak. Flat head six, 3 on the tree. Watch out kids... 8)

i havent heard back from the guy with the impulse. But that thing is a logistical nightmare. I have no way of towing a car long distance at the moment. And since the impulse was in need of a clutch i doubt i can get it... :?

I was thinking more along the lines of a V10. But then when i was thinking RAM i thought one of them Cummins motors they had in them would be different. Would cost a few $$$$ as well. Plenty of urge and good MPG.

I still remember when the 600hp signature cam out here. The cummins guys had a motor mounted on a tandem trailer and were towing it round showing it off. They came to my work as the boss was getting them in his next lot of new trucks. There was more interest in the Cummins powered Dodge Ram they were using to tow the trailer. lol.
