Trust me... you'll just end up jamming more shit into it

You should be able to get that thing on the road quickly since your helper still has alot of time off work  :P :P

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:
