Project Grumble Bee

[RickBost]

i just bought this sunday and it is going to be alot of work i am looking into a 77 chevy with a 454 as that i am going to big block it. I wanna big block because i have not owned one as to yet and this will not be my daily driver. Thing is this is kinda a bad time to start a project as that i am deploying at the end of the month. The price ($800) was to good to pass up and this is my dream truck i just thought i would never own seeing as non-running they are worth alot. Now the decision is do i leave it with my uncle (Damned good mechanic) and cusin (wyotec paint and body grad) who want to build it for me so that i can drive it when i get back, or leave it with my wife where it will sit in a barn. the only hard thing is that i am a do it yourself kinda guy that way you know it is done right and if not you know how it is jerri rigged.
