When we started the build on my '67 swb stepper we had a vision. As the build progressed things were fluid and changed from the original vision.

The drive-train changed from a 250 L6 to a 454. I liked either engine, but we finally decided on the 454. We did keep the SM-465 for the transmission.

The outside color was supposed to be a bronze, but as things turned out it is white with orange racing stripes and orange and black interior.

The wheels were going to be aluminum slots, but ended up being 8" front and 10" rear rallies.

The seats were going to be a set of van buckets and ended up being black racing sets.

So as you can see many things changed along the way.
