Taillights... DOH... that shoulda clued me... I remeber now.. The GS/skylark had long skinny ones.. I think ... 70 :huh: Chevelles had my fav's.. the little round ones in the bumper.

I wish I had unlimited budget.....

Crate Motor... instant HP in a box
That's right, you did say unlimited budget :D

Slip... I remember a pic of you in a Chevelle. was that yours, or your uncle's?

That is my favorite car... ah High School, 69 Chevelle SS 396 4-speed, comes stock with a hottie, easy to find free replacement too :devil:

Can't wait to see it Freak :drool:

that's my uncle in that pic Karl, his car before it was finished
I had an MGB "67"

502 Crate! Really!!? You're gonna need to file a flight plan.... :jump:

Flag Chevy? :hee:

Maybe a "70"
 

Keep us posted with pic's...Is it a 68, or 69.

Freak I gotta bring you out to my buddy's place at Sheba Racing...he just finished dropping that motor in the same car. Ram air the whole works. 500 REAL horsepower...You would enjoy seeing his shop. He decorates his walls with fenders from all his Nascar crashes :D


I had a 67 grand sport for many years, rebuilt Buick 340 with a 2 speed powerglide....92 mph in FIRST gear. Man did that 4 barrel scream. I can still remember racing my buddy who had a 65 that we dropped a Pontiac 400 into with a Muncie 4 banger. He's beat me off the line but within 200' I'd smoke his ass the rest of the way down the strip :D
THEM were the days!

Karl is nobodies lunch meat. :doh: :D

My old boss had a yellow GSX ... And I was able to drive it's spiritual successor, the GNX on several sideways-down-the-highway excursions :bo:

Stage1 455? 360 horse 510 tourqe, pull like a freight train off the line.

That be she.... only had 18K miles on it at the time too....

Mike,
Work must be slow if you're taking in one of those jobs!

Kinda says it all RR ;)

Insurance companys have unlimited budgets!!!

They usually try and pork guys like me when I hafta collect, scrape Lincoln right offa penny the cheap bastages.

i usually do one a year in the winter.
keeps me outta trouble at night.
last year was an early 80's mercedes conv.
then 67 RS/SS camaro conv.
a bunch of chevelles, 442's. these chevy bodies are nice because parts are easy to get.
got the thing pretty much down to the metal today and it's a nightmare.
needs outter wheelhouses in the back. complete floor pan. inner rocker panels. plus some misc. patchwork arround the cowl.
ohh.. dont even ask about the roof :jester: got so much mud on it, i bet it floats.

Was thinking the same thing..Must be slow...But its nice to have to a project to keep busy...

Thats a lot of torque! I will take torque of hp any day.
