Pro, that thing looks terrifyingly fast! Great looking craftsmanship and design. Dave, great work as always. Wish I could afford that Camaro; I still love that body style .
I spent the day working; I'm getting really anxious to drive this! At least I can start it and sit behind the wheel now. In the past week i got the generic dynamat put down, the mounting brackets for the seat made and installed, headlights and dimmer wired, alternator wired, exhaust put on, a 95 T-Bird electric fan installed, bed sides welded on and a front panel for the bed made and installed. Also fitted a Stewart Warner sending unit in the fuel tank and finished the battery box. Closer and closer to cruise time; I know my wife is ready for me to stop being in the garage all day every Saturday. She's been pretty understanding about me wanting to finish this for spring cruizin'.

Looks great Falcon, when we goin' for the first cruize????

It would be fairly cheap right now..... When it's done, probably a different story!!!!!!!

The "Maro" is looking pretty sweet Dave, I like the front end, looks sleek as hell. Whats the grill going to look like?Truck is lookiing fantastic falcon, I really like the bright red and black, very cool. Let me know when you and Dave are goin' cruisin, I'll check in.
I got everything hooked up in the El Camino today except the drive line, even with beating on it with a sledge hammer it wouldn't go in.* I took it off of that truck and put another 350th in it, shouldn't the splines be the same?

This morning the tranny came out of the green duster to go to the shop. it was spitting oil out of the front seal or somewhere in there. Other than that the car is good.

I see you are going to gives passengers a ride...

Denny or eject them at speed . Now that would be a slip and slide for a while .

Falcon you are getting it done . Thing is your only useing your saturdays , thats some head way . I need to get out of tinkering stage and get into what your doing .

Well, that "Depends®".

{pun intended}.

thanks this was by far the most rusted up car i've ever done, yes parts are a huge challange (pricey too)

Panel work with a guy into mopars his latest find was a plum 70 Superbee 4spd car . He also has a few Cuda's and others alot of parts cars but a couple rarer ones .

sounds like he's sitting on a gold mine. had some beer and strippers over today for outside paint removel. couldn't handle any more media blasting (big ol mess)

Beer and strippers mm i'd sanded a bit for that LOL.

Well you guys did it , I got off my can this morn put the trans in the 67 cpe . This I hope is for the last time . I have had the suspension done for at least 9 yrs and ready to put the brakes on . Had all that just as long Phheewww. Don't know if the fear of knowing i'm going to sell it slowed me this last year or just being stuck in front of TV and the puter . I bought all the trans , fuel and brake lines from NPD all cnc bent with springs on them. Now if i dont have this thing on wheels in the next few weeks someone just shoot me .


But i did get alot done on the Hot (sreet) Rod in the last year not enough but some .

Some refresher pics of how it sits .

Looking good Bobby, nothing like a bit of progress to make the day more cheery!!!!!!!
