    Well keep us posted,cause that is one sharp looking Chevy.
    A local guy had one similar to that,but not nearly as nice.I'm totally jealous,so when you get the motor in the car,and get it running,be sure to post video so I can live vicariously through you:)

    Ive been watching this slow progress build.It's getting slow close to moving under its own power.It's painful to watch.

    My project on the other hand is moving even slower damnit!.
    I work all seven days a week during the summer so no time for car stuff.but winter is coming that's when I will get my ass in gear.

    I hope to see video of this car soon.

    Robert,
    Have you found the time or the stray bucks to get your clutch squared away yet?

    I know it ain't easy,I'm in the same boat as far as limited cash flow due to life's other commitments:)

    Finding the time and money needed to finish a project is never easy.

    With everything else going on today money and just about everything else is hard to come by.

    If you could consider doing it yourself, a little want too goes a long way, whether you know exactly what to do or not, if one is physically able.
     
  25. Hey, LB? I know what to do but my friend is in Bakersfield with the parts, he's supposed to come down here and help me put it together because I'm a disabled American veteran and it's not easy alone. And I don't have the funds to buy the parts twice or I would.
     
  26. Ok I just got word from my friend Greg Jacobsen who I have been friends with since 11th grade Auto Shop (which was the whole premise of this build that we do it together like we used to) who has a shop (Performance Head Development in Bakersfield) that there is an ANRA race being held at Famoso around the holidays and he wants the car running so we can show it and maybe make a few passes. So it will be going to his shop soon. I'll work out the dates and keep everybody watching this lengthy build posted.
