Hi James....Hope every thing is falling into place for you ......Regards Doug

 

Got the motor all done up, back basically stock except for a healthy cam, lunatti lifters, Edelbrock Manifold, edelbrock 750 carb, MSD ignition and distributor, headers, 21 rpm stall converter, a mild makeover on the turbo 400 caddy trans. A 9" center section with posi and 3.25 gears. Just got it painted 2012 Camaro Inferno Orange Metallic, will put it together tomorrow and post a pic.
The frame is next and should be painted and back together by next week so I can put the motor and trans back in. then it goes to the storasge trailer and the Body comes in to the shop to get finished.

.... going away this weekend to get my wife a 1950 Merc 4 dr, going to make it a clean quiet, sedate HA!(390 Mercury Maurader and c-6) to carry her real estate clients around in classy comfort. No Loud exhaust, no flashy paint or flames. maybe a slight lowering. and skirts but that is it.

 

Looking way cool James, you'll be cruising her before long. All the work looks so good and the light at the end of the tunnel is near.
