It's in!!!!
My first "car", a 1960 Belair. Pulled the six with auto and freshened up a 454 with 4 speed OD standard tranny to replace it. Finally got it in this morning. Would not have gotten to this point with out the guys here at CHR answering my dumb questions, thanks guys...
Would you believe I am probably still under $5k on this one (including the price of the car) I have been wheeling and dealing on eBay for parts.
Here some choice pics, see the whole build photo essay at the link in my signature.

I really like the '60 body style, and that tudor post will make a great sleeper. The motor looks great also. The blonde Lab doesn't look too impressed though - or is that a Golden Retriever?Jack
