Did a 53 with a nova clip and a Big block about 10 yrs ago. Tried about 6 differat set and nutin worked. Had a custom set built. Bite the bullet now and spend the bucks.

I called Williams Classic Chassis Works at 909-352-1352. Problem solved. They had the big primary tubes, long 3" collector, fit perfect and the service was excellent. Very expensive, as top quality always is, but, they were perfect. When is the last time you ever said that about an aftermarket part??? When you call, your talkin to Mr. Williams himself. Tell him what you have and ask his opinion. www.williamsclassicchassisworks.com blksheep...throughly exhausted...in Charlotte blksheep [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Charlotte, North Carolina   Posted by dixie  -  07/25/2007 08:33 PM Is there room for wheel well set? jim grace [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] dade city, Florida Charter Member since January 2006
