Bill Pugnetti is "working on a hotrod. 1961 Lark being transformed into Fordabaker Lark custom hotrod. Here are pictures of chassis as it is today. Lotz of reinforcement to keep from flexing. Frame and suspension are powder coated. 28gal stainless steel gas tank. Brake and gas lines. Air suspension. 466 cubes. Roller cam. Edelbrock aluminum heads, intake, water pump. 800 cfm carb. Two filters in front one for ATF, one for motor oil. Headers and 3" ceramic coated exhaust pipes. C6 trans has lotza performance parts to take a beating, even Kevlar bands. Behind C6 is Gear Vendors overdrive. 3.5 rear gears with Detroit Locker. 35 spline axles. Never went this deep into redoing a car and never will again. Buddy and I are working on it at his home shop. From firewall foreword body is 62 Lark while rest is 61 Lark. Those who know Larks will notice. Considering 96-98 Mustang tail lights with sequentials.
Here are more pictures. Had intake bead blasted and clear coated. Gives it a luster and grime/oil wipes off.
Soooo,,, chassis is mostly done. Target is to finish for summer 2013."
I will post the pix he sent, but might have to do it in two posts. I think you are going to really enjoy the beautiful work that is being done with this car! Got them all but one here.
