When do we get to see the "after" shots??
Looks like its gunna be a great car! Is it a cruiser or bruiser? I expect nothing less than 600cubes!
Coming along very nice Greg,
Those UPC brakes are brilliant. I have fitted several sets to 57-69 Chevs and they do perform as long as you set up the rest of the system to suit.
Bit of a let down using a Pontiac engine though... :zip:
Congrat's greg hats of to you, i don't know where you find the time with your work load , but we will make sure you don't slacken off on your project by pestering the hell out of ya.:lol: :drink:

The good thing about the throttle body is that you can get longer runners on your manifold!
Putting all new suspension bushes and what not in the front end.
Cleaning off decades of grease, dirt oil etc was not a fun job.
I don't think it was ever done before!!!
repainting all the chassis compents in rust kill.
They are coming up nicely.
Just waiting on one more delivery...then I can get it back on its wheels...with the new brakes bolted on.

Do not mean to criticise your work because you are doing fine.
But....how come you did not replace those old coil springs with nice strong fresh ones?
They're only 53 years old, if you replaced them now, you'd void the warranty.
Greg... You are a great inspiration to this club.
I just can not beleive the amount of energy and enthusiasm you have been putting into your project in such a short time.( do you have a secret you would like to share with us?). decide in the afternoon to do it right...next minute body off frame and hook into it. You are a legend, keep it up and keep us updated on your progress.
You are making me feel young again grasshopper! :shades:
