update:
last fall i put the 27 chevy in mothballs.
i have an extremely limited budget for this build.
i was having to wait till payday (i get paid once a month)
buy a part
install it
wait another 29 days
buy a part
install it
repeat.
it was tying up the shop by just sitting there all the time.
well i had a minor brainstorm.
i borrowed $1500 from a dear friend.
and i am renting my extra bedroom for 4 months for $1000
that will give me enough to finish this rod so i can drive it by late summer.
i need to plumb the brakes
new drums/cylinders/shoes
wireing
radiator
el cheapo seats
and glass in the front and back.

i am pretty excited about this.
