Title: 60 Ragtop part 2 Post by: DHP 60 on April 22, 2010, 00:18:25 am My name is Pete and I cant make up my mind. My 60 has been thru alot of changes. Newest being cal-look. I'm tired of driving a slammed bug and I needed a little more HP. The 36 was a great little motor but it's being retired. I call it part 2 because i had the 2276 in it a couple years back and ran into some issues. This time I'm setting the car up right. Heres what I started with:

It was not good at 100+mph. junked it for a cb 2" with Disks all around.

More to come on this project as it needs to be on the road to drive from arizona to the Classic in june.
