Looks awesome but your rims aren't cobras. They are bullitts. Just thought i'd clarify. Oh and wouldnt a 500cfm carb be choking that 302 a little bit? I thought 289s and 302s usually had 600+ on them? I also noticed you had a bench front seat, was that stock or did you buy it?

No, it's a common misconception that 600+ cfm carbs should be used on stock 302's. The 500 is just right for his application.

Yep, back in those days, drive-in movies were in vogue. Can't get much lovin' in a bucket seat.
