Re: my cool new project

This is gonna be cool!

Re: my cool new project

Now you are talkin'. That is a great power train choice. Have fun!!!!!!!!

Re: my cool new project

project update - I dropped the 300 buick motor in but had issues with firewall clearance and did not want to cut it up that much.
so i went with a 215 and a 4 speed should still be a fun cruiser. http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps1041f485.jpg

Re: my cool new project

Re: my cool new project

Thanks. Got the the cool can on Craigslist for 10 bucks nos in the box.

Re: my cool new project

Huge score on the cool can. Car is looking awesome.

Re: my cool new project

Neat project! Glad you went with the period-correct engine. Black plates make me nostalgic for the old days back home in the east bay.

42000 views? for my beater. cool!

Re: my cool new project

Hey Mr.4speed, I actually just acquired this car the other day!
It's one of the coolest cars I've seen and definitely that I've owned. I think there were a couple owners between us but the car is mostly how you left it, albeit with new floor pans and Kirkey racing seats. As well as a steel plate trans tunnel.
I'm very curious as to the specs on the engine, and also the nature of the Don Garlits tag on the firewall?
