Answers the age old question, "what should I do for a different grill?"

That looks good there.
I think it looks good coming or going.

WOW eight months

Still driving more than building

Been working on the new power train, sbc 350, mild cam, headers, most likely a unilite dist. and headers and thanks to 26Troaster the killer intake [cl, i know to much gas for that little engine but it's all about the look [dr
It's hooked to a 700R4, would still like a posi but i'm to cheap

On a side note, why do Holley's have to be so complicated [S

Wow soltz I just spent two hours going thru this thread, what a great build. I have my 12 year old son helping me with my build. Great to get the kids involved. That's how I ended up loving cars, my dad did a full frame off restoration on the model a in the background of this picture back in the late 70's when I was a wee lad

Thank you Sir. It's been a fun build. She started turning wrenches at abut 10 and still does when she can.

Thanks, it is a fun build with the kid.
Haven't done much the last year except drive it
Planning for an engine change soon, but it's almost spring, well tomorrow actually, driving time.
That's a hazard of making them legal and drivable [S work slows way down

All Good Things Must End

Well if I done my arithmetic right it's been 5yrs 3 mo & 12 days since i started this thread and today i will end it.
Had a very good time with the build and the driving with my daughter and we got 58% of the investment back, i've done worse and i've done better

I think it's about time for another open car of some type[S
Daughter just found out she is expecting so she will be a little busy in a few month, that's the best of "good news bad news"[cl

It's going to Williamston S.C. if any one see's it around let me know. [cl

Can't wait to see your open car project. Are you thinking 1920's, 1930's hot rod or something newer?
