    thanks. its alot of work but its definately worth it! i plan on painting it very soon too cause we have been sanding alot on it. it will be on the road in no time. the next purchases are 4 13kv.2's (hopefully by the end of next week) and spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. i also have to go get the paint matched so it can be painted

    it is just about there. i think we r gonna finish the front end bodywork tomorrow and send it to paint. the guy that is supposed to paint it is in jail right now and has 30 days so idk who is gonna paint it now. it should be ready for the road by the end of the month for sure. its moving kinda slow but it will be done soon. i will take pics of the front end tomorrow.

    That car is pretty much the same as the Buick Grand Nationial isnt it? Find a Buick Turbo V6 and drop that in, with a little mods it will put out a ton of power and still be good on the gas.

    ya they are all G-Bodies but i really hate 6 cylinders in old cars like this. i dont care how much power it has, i just hate them im not too worried about gas mileage causei am used to gettin 6-7 in the dodge. i think i am gonna build a 355ci. i will take the block on the left in the picture to the machine shop and have it boiled and torn apart then bored .030. then i will go to my local Motor Parts Central and buy a $200 rebuild kit. these kits are incredible, idk how they sell them so cheap. then, lastly i will throw a high rise air gap intake on it with a Holley 650 and be on my way. Those are my plans for this winter.
