Well,

Its been a FUN couple years. The car has 51,700 miles on it so that, combined with the 1,000 when the speedo cable was unhooked, is almost 13,000 since buying it and about 10,000 of those on the build this thread covered. Here are some recent videos having fun with the old girl





The not so good news... the motor (was 88,000 mile cemetery dump truck motor from 1985) is not doing well. Barely idles. getting 101-119 compression across the 8 tubes.

Also, I am sick of the front end. I know better than to post all the details/progress here, but I found a cherry 1967 Camaro subframe I want to use (bone stock, even drum brakes) and once I can get my hands on one, she'll be getting a 4.8/4l60e vortec. Is the LS thing allowed on this site? I enjoyed me time on here but its been years and I dont remember whats allowed and whats not.

There is a CHANCE she's going to get a 250cid six banger with Holley EFI and a 6l50e 6 speed auto but more likely than not, the LS. Will be starting on the frame soon
