Whoa up there, I have been limited to how many I can have here.. But I see them all over in back yards and pastures and I'm always watching for neat old stuff wasting away that might be passed on to some body who's looking...
My father in law was in law enforcement.. He spent most all his time in the police cruiser scouting back alleys and out of the way places for forgotten street rods which might be for sale with a little asking.
Went to lunch today with a buddy who has a 66 chevy 1 ton sitting back out of sight from the world... $500 and it is mine . I dont really need it BUT it has a corvette big journal 327......... It will have to wait a little longer

It looks like your moving right along. I hope to get engine block back from the machine shop next week and get the engine together and installed in the frame.
Keep up the good work.

thx man. you too. I bet you're excited about getting that motor back? I'm wishing i had a shop like yours these days. I'd never go into the house. All it needs is a big screen. Make sure you post pics.

O'Reillys/Baxters

The tach and the Speedo were a little spendy, but I get a killer discount, so I grabbed em.

edit: I think I'm gonna have to look at the Fuel gauge. I believe its a 0/90. SHows Wayyyyy full with a full tank.

63lemon · 01-15-2011, 03:52 PM
