Oh heck ,, I thought this was at the person place you bought it from,, my bad I wasnt paying attention ..... I love the AMX's 68 thru 70 only , I just like that body style . Maybe one day I'll end up with one .. Still like the Camaro too [cl[cl[cl[cl
 
As I mentioned in my build thread, I took my Olds engine to the machine shop and they will have it for a while. So, to keep myself occupied, I started putting together the freshly machined 350 Chevy engine I have had sitting in the shop for a while. I plan to put it in my 46 when the time comes.

It is the one that came out of a Camaro drag car I bought and I had it completely gone through. It is a 4 bolt block with forged pistons and World Product heads. I scrubbed the block with soap and water the other night and coated it with WD40 to keep it from rusting. I am getting a rare Saturday off tomorrow and plan to start assembling it then.

In an effort to get my shop in order I bought some killer shelving at Costco & have started putting them together! I was pretty excited to find out I can stretch the 3 sections I bought into 4 sections! We're having "neighbors night out" at our house next month so I have a fire under my tailfeather now!!! :eek:

Smallfoot... AWESOME foto!!!

Had to move my dash

It was a ton of work. Lots of planning, cutting, grinding and glassing. But I'm glad I did it.

My steering column was too far to the right 1 1/2" and wouldn't have ever lined up with a driver's seat.

Luckily I have access to a fork lift. So I could suspend it flipped over and didn't have to lay up glass while on my back.

It's right on now. Just more bodywork ahead.

I go to work on Mondays way more tired than when I left on Friday.

I bought an old '60s '32 Bantam altered rolling chassis. With a 351 Cleveland/C6/9". It is being delivered in the morning. It is very cool.

I spent the rest of Saturday cleaning up the house garage so I can keep safe and cozy until I am ready to start going crazy with it.

I am soooooooo stoked![cl[cl[cl[cl[cl[cl

I took about 40 to document the start. Now I need to find some software for my new computer to work on the pics so they will fit on here. I miss my Photoshop...


Hmmmm, it did work. I'll start a thread.
