no doubt, but the 1 1/2 car garage is pretty cramped, need to build a garden shed to get the mowers and all the yard junk out of my way.

my \"crash-pilot\" just left, checking it out for the first time. he's got enough on his plate with his own 57 chev and I can't get him motivated on his own projects..........he's too busy napping :lol:

oh yeah, i'm so the vintage purist type :mullet:

plans are to give it some color, full interior this time, fix the pan head on my swing/link pin pan and run the 2332cc NA in it on that pan. Then build up the IRS pan and a bus box and cram a hairdrier in it :rockon:

Post by: vanBoven on October 06, 2007, 09:14:42 PM: but just consider the mullhand look first because you just have a 54 3 fold and nobody wants them anymore. :lol:

or how ever you spell mullhand
