The Bulltear V8 mounts do the job. Only have to drill one hole bigger in each side. The template that you get with the mounts makes that mod easy. Plus its less than $200. I might have been wrong about Bulltear being hard to get hold of. And now, am looking at some other stuff they offer, not just for that ugly car. But for the cool one too.

All in all, I think Matt's a pretty good egg. I've done some biz with him (small stuff) and he's always done right by me. It did take some smackin' around by the boys to get him to cool the hyperbole a little. ;D

Oh, yeah, for a while there everything he sold was the best thing since puncture-proof toilet paper. But with no real hard numbers to back it up, just talk. He seems to have cut back on that.

not putting the guy down, and am very grateful for what he is doing, BUT when you give someone a time quote you should try and meet the quote!
he's had my Supercharger for 15 months so far and i was told it would take 4-6 weeks, i'm starting to wonder if its "in use" or just sitting in the container i sent it in?
when i pm him, i get the same old "i should have time in the next week or two to get on it" so i wait a month or sometimes a little longer than pm again only to hear pretty much the same thing on how he's so busy and stuff. i've asked for a couple pictures to see how its coming along, get nothing, not even a reason why. i keep checking his site hoping maybe there will be a post started on it, nothing, makes me wonder.....it really does
i sent this to him with the intentions of having the first setup to actually be produced for our AMC cars, Procharger now has one out, oh well!
sorry for the rant......just venting

I bought a serpentine pulley set up from him and one of the pulleys was wrong. I sent him a PM and he took care of it in less than 10 days.

I spoke wih a guy once. I guess it's the same guy y'all are talking about. Very helpful guy, and really gave me the impretion, he wanted to help. Seems more and more like a mom&pop shop. That could mean quality problems. Or higher quality. I have found craftsmanship is about the man. I like him And will give him a try.

Well, going to jump in with a much better start, and save the work needing to be done to this little car. Its for sale. The kid wants it bad, I told him if he got off his lazy back side I would cut him a deal, but if not, it will be sold. Not sure how hard he's working to buy it, but building "his car side by side with my car is looking good to him. He wants to do $300 down, and $75 a month for $700. We will see who comes up with the money 1st. Him... Or anyone els.

Bulltear mounts are good. Told the kid he can buy the 74 from me. We will build them side by side, I will have a yard full of ugly. Should be fun tho.

You can post pics. Just use the attachment box. If you want to post a whole bunch you'll have to use Photobucket or the like. ProBoards keeps teasing me with some big upgrade that will allow for lots of pics, and more flexibility and function. I wish they would get on with it.

My company bought a bunch of plain white buses to charter out. all they need is "county" on the side and they would look like prison transport buses. No one was leasing them. So .... they bought all new alum wheels (guess who gets to swap out all the short lugs for long) and they are having them wraped with a day to night thing. Here is where it gets good. I whent down with my company shirt on and asked if i could get a coupon on a little job im thinking about. (cuz im cheap) well, for continuing the business, they are giving me a smoken good deal, and for letting them put their name on the car, knock somemore off the price. ;)O YEAH!!! Steve is doing some layouts for me to look at (all about the 70s) but Im likeing the R/W/B look. not the tilted, I think the AMC logo Attachments:
