Simple engine pulling turned into getting a new 383 stroker with TPI, and powdercoating the frame...

I'm nuts though - cuz I'm doing the frame first - then fixing the body - although my body is pretty damn fine to begin with...

Sounds like a plan to me.

Well it's still not out of the question. Mine is holding water currently but you can only dump so much pepper in there b4 it leaks again.

I actually do want to get that from you but as one of my post said "how do you sneak stuff past the wife" I just rebuilt my carb last week. so i need to chill for a week or so, b4 i empty the wallet. She should be happy now that i haven't spent over $100 on an item for at least a month now. Just getting nickeled and dimed to death.

Nothing wrong with starting from the ground up, so to speak.

Cross over is our friend.
