"So, what's wrong if someone wants to learn how to do body work and paint themselves, as well as building an engine, installing a refurbished interior that's not perfect, rebuilding the suspension etc.? Not all of us have deep pockets so we can simply write a check and get someone to...

Yeah, the Maryland project extended well over a year. Finally got sick of being on the road. Quit and came home. We've, we being me and my father, have just begun again on the build. Engine is sitting In a machine shop now with aluminum heads waiting to be ported and polished. I have a stroker...

And that's where you're missing the point. Most of our clients do shows yes but most of out clients are return business and I happen to know a lot of them are also just as enthusiastic about this sorta thing as you and I. They have numerous cars, they do drive them and sometimes they drive them...

Dartnut I understand the sincerity here by being supportive of your friend. I do think for someone learning the ropes and doing things on a budget that gdrill is doing good work reviving old cars most young people only see as trash. It is my generation that doesn't hold the same esteem for a lot...

Seriously Blu - Get on that T56 man! You spent so much to collect the parts now park the darn thing and swap! Jokes aside we are all anticipating the swap and I really want to hear/see the results.

I feel you - I went with a 3.74 rear end ratio as I believe it's the best performance/cruise-ability you can really get. Withe the TKO I can be at 70 with a 3000 RPM spin which will be a hellva lot better than the 727 and also get a theoretical top speed of 160 MPH which I think will be fun on...

Yep, that's the one I am thinking about going with. Awesome, yeah I think this sounds good. Thank you for confirming with me, this saves me a lot of phone calls and time.

Why American Powertrain over SST? To be honest after speaking to the reps I may very well go with SST. They seem much more accommodating and knowledgeable. The SST set-up does come with the pedals. I've also since decided I may as well go with the hydraulic set-up since I am limited for space as...

Come on guys, 109 views and counting but no comments?

Hey, After a lot of review and speaking with some individuals on this forum I've decided that I may swap to a five speed tremec transmission. Me and my father have never redone a car to take a manual before and wanted some advice. We don't plan on getting to the transmission for at least eight...

Well I am currently in Maryland for work, the car is in California where I am from. I don't know how much shipping would be but if it is a good price maybe.

It just came to my attention but this IS a complete car - the previous owner removed the bumpers/front panels and hood to get to the engine (I don't know why). Anyway, I suppose it looks like a much larger project than it actually is. All the pieces are there and in good shape given the year of...

Yes actually, I am on a project here for 8 months in Columbia. So far not a bad city, more spread out than I am used to though. The car, though, is back in California. If my project becomes much more long term I will probably fly back and drive it here or ship it via truck.

Bruh - We roll deep. That's the 50GAL.

To begin, I am a novice at this. I am currently a fresh graduate from college and have since landed my first, what I can safely say, legitimate career. Being a responsible, educated male I did what any sane peoples would do. I went out and got myself a money pit, having no kids and little over...
