Figured Id do a build thread for my 76 Fleetwood Im planning on running in the Casino Battle Royal. So far got it pretty much stripped. Car is crazy clean, definitely a 10/10. They havent released rules yet, so Im in limbo now, but assuming they dont change much from last year, going to run a 74 Impala bumper on the front, sbc/th400/10 bolt with ears welded on to fit caddy trailing arms. Hopefully we get 10 patch plates like last year, because if so, I should be able to make this girl plenty hard for the feature.

Got 2nd, If I wouldnt have broke both upper trailing arms and could have backed up I could have probably won. But alot of getting 2nd was a fluke, I was just super lucky the whole day.

You have all of us watching to interpret our mindset into your build as well s your built to the rules the fullest amount.you will have multiple different states looking and helping and every state builds differently

Rules still havent been put out yet, so I havent touched the car much except for getting it fully stripped now. Done a few small things today. When I started running Caddys a few years ago I discovered the angled spacer between the booster and firewall can easily be turned into a master adapter. I'll be running a pinion brake so I just move the rear line into the front brake port on the master. Gives a very nice pedal feel. Ive ran a floor mounted brake before and really didnt like it as much as the stock pedal setup.
