    Someone swapped out the rearend years back on my 67 FB and I'm trying to figure out what I have and if it's worth rebuilding to support the new stroker (450hp+) or get an actual nine somewhere. I have a couple pics but too big to post and the car is at the shop. The rear view of the housing...

    Dash Aluminum insert supplier preferences: JME or Scott Drake

    I have a 67 FB with the deluxe interior (brushed aluminum) on the dash. Prior to me it was updated with that crummy "brushed aluminum" sticker stuff applique. Don't waste your time or money, that stuff sucks and will eventually bubble like mine and look low budget. I'm going to do it right...
