32 5 window finally got it!!

That's funny, looking forward to this build!

 

That shop is WAY too small. Man, what a nice find! DD

 

Never I just need to buy more junk! The bad part is i have another one just like it but it filled with cars already!

 

Does anyone know what number i need to get off the vette rear to figure out what it is? I found one number in the casting on the back of the rear by the spring pad. Did not know if this is the right number or not.

 

wow that thing really is in GREAT shape!

 

I have been wondering samething when u find out let me know I ain't had any luck either

 

Yea, . i thought there would be some secrets hidding under the primer. But to my surprise it was very nice.

Thats really nice good for you What a nice body your lucky goodluck

 

At this point im leaning towards a 283 with 2 fours with a four speed or 5 speed behind it. I already have a early 283 and a 2 four intake off of a 56 chevy.

 

Nice!

 

the frame is striped and ready to go to the blasting room.

 

Great find! It looks like an early 70s build start. do you have any background on it?

 

very nice!!!

 

Yea the car has been local to this area all its life. I was able to get the car from the original family and from what i was told it was started in the late 70's. The car was owned by a family the had deep roots in dirt track racing threw the early fifties till the late 70's. still trying to by the 40 ford race car but having no luck on that so far.

 

You said all Ford. You need a Flathead to go with the Quickchange HaHaHa just kidding!!

Wait!!!!!! He gave it to you?
