Re: Snow ball effect
In '95 my dad bought a 51 chev fleetline deluxe. After driving it for a few weeks i came in the garage and was horrified when i saw the whole front clip removed. $60,000 and a 6 year frame off later he got it goin again. He just put a 700r4 in it last year. Its a full blown addiction. It never ends.

Re: Snow ball effect
It happens! I started off pulling mine apart to rebuild/restore back to basically stock. Phase two of the snowball effect came when I decided to go with an LSx 6.0...then OD tranny, then 8 lug axles, etc, etc, etc. I hope to have it back together in 20 years or so.

Re: Snow ball effect
Ah hell lightning bolt, sounds like you need to find that #1 plug, lol. I just put a piece of tissue paper shoved inside #1 turned it by hand and it just made the purty’est pop when that #1 came around. Was the distributor loose?
