Re: 49 GMC Five Window

Really looking forward to my first drive up the neighborhood. Plan is to drive it up the hill so if it quits it won't be so hard to push home!

My big 4 seat long travel car got sold last month - I traded my car for cash and a two seat turbo Subaru. I was sad to see it go - my son and I built it when we weren't the best of friends and it kind of bonded us together again. Nobody wants to go to the dunes anymore and it wasn't getting used. The good news is, I got enough out of it to fund the completion of my '49 and probably the MGTD too.

Here's a picture of it- LS1 with forged internals, stock cam, single turbo - dynod 525 at the wheels. About 24" of wheel travel.

With my BIL from France - he didn't puke and had a hell of a good time!

Wow! I wished my MGTD looked that nice. Wife's car a late Series 2 1953. Bought as a basket case and have just finished making new doors and all the metalwork. Should start assembly in the next month or two.
