Re: project '49 green machine Im young and dumb

Welcome to the forum. Use the search function to look at other conversions to decide how much you want to bite off! Most is not hard just takes attention to detail and patience. Like said, don't get hung up on a 9", stock they are ok but need additional work for higher hp applications. Advantage is the replaceable pumpkin, you can set up different ratios and easily swap them out (one for around town, one for cruising across the country). I found this site about 3 years ago and have looked at all the build threads to help with my build, lots of good guys willing to share information. Post some pics..
