black 350 cruiser

[twitch350chev]

i will add some pics soon as my computer is shitting it self at the moment.

my cruiser is a 1976 fj40 black with a soft top.

350 chev
35in tyres,
2in body lift extended shackles,
60 series front end with disc brakes,
4speed,
cd player, tacho a few other gauges
uhf,
new extractors twin 21/2in exhaust coming out just before the back wheels. sounds tough.

plans r to lift it was thinking of SOA but for the time been might just get a bigger lift kit for it.
might convert to gas.
racing seats.

sounds good, i cant wait with the pics

[twitch350chev]

will hopefully get the cruiser lifted next week it will be about another 2in. would have liked to do a SOA but juust dont have the time to do it.

[twitch350chev]

that pic is from crossing the stix river
and these pics r trying to get up a hill, the pics dont look as step as it was. i couldnt get up as it was clay and mud and couple of rocks that were in the way. only 1 guy got up but that was with the help of a diff lock and going 1st.
