Re: Akron Arlen
One thing you don't want to do, is confuse a car built by Arlen to one built in his shop. Very workmanlike, I guess is the right way to say it.
Yes, it was built as if it was a hemi car, with a 5.13 and tall tires, but running a 440. It's an original 69-1/2 car. They treated the factory stamping lines as if they meant cut here. I'll just say they went too far and leave it at that.
I didn't scale it before I disassembled it but I should have. It had a big old heavy bar in it though.
