Ink & Iron was great - alot of beautiful machines.  I got swayed for a little bit while drooling over the Plymouth Fury w/ the modern hemi to go old look, new under the hood with my baby.  But, when I got home, that idea pretty much went away.  It seems to me that it would be a shame to destroy a 100% complete old ride, I really should work what I got. So...How to get more performance out of the straight 8 is my mission.  The research is under way.  If anybody has suggestions or comments, please feel free to leave them here.
