I just acquired my new to me 1961 AH bugeye with a 383 Stroker motor
The thing is scary even to stand next to at idle :)
The list of items it needs are going to be completed are short but important
narrow seats
wiper system
turn signal switch
tandem master cylinder
new brake lines
plus plus plus
The largest issue is the front end
I need to change the stock setup to something modern
the car has front and rear Cragars which will be history (LOL) but I want Larger disks and a newer a-arm setup
Who out the can help me
I could keep the oem but why
thanks
Clay

Correction: You just acquired a 383 Stroker motor with a 1961 AH bugeye!
Looks very very fast! And apart from de obvious drag racing wheels a very tidy car!

Kristof.
very nice sir!
If you want to improve your brakes without changing the front end completely, you can use Triumph Spitfire discs and MGB calipers. Or ... you can contact Fatman Fabrications and they can probably build you the full monty: http://www.fatmanfab.com/index.php
I'm not real proud of it.....yet
I'll look into the spitfire rotor and mgb calipers
is there a year i should look at?
