Outstanding! I'll keep an eye out for your progress.

My truck was originally supposed to go to my buddy's paint shop a few years ago, but he ran into some health problems and took a couple years off to recover. When he got healthy and came back, he was so backlogged that he said I either bring the C10 down now, or wait another 2-3 years. That's when all of my careful planning and scheduling went into the circle file.

We'll definitely have to meet up at a show or meet sometime.
I know there are more than 2 of us with Pontiac torque monsters under our hoods...
I used to trade emails with a guy who had an old Chrysler hemi in a 65... that was different. .. lost track of him and his build..

Definitely! I used to attend and race at the Pontiac Heaven events at Speedworld and now held at Wild Horse Pass (formerly Firebird) every spring.

Here is some coverage from the last Pontiac Heaven I attended. The reporter incorrectly noted the quickest pass - should've been possibly the quickest for a stock block Pontiac.
