LS1Ace and topbrent, I applaud both of you for your determination and honesty. I too am into A-Bodies and hot rodding. I am not into Purists of any kind and despise persons without imagination. I built a 65 Barracuda in the early 80's where as I chopped the top 7 inches and sunk the rear window into the rear quarters to be aesthetically correct and when I drove it to Englishtown for the Mopar Nationals I was put into a position where Mopar purists told me I ruined the car, for cryin out loud, the Barracuda was worth at that time maybe $2000 in stock form, sold it for ten. Today I drive a 64 Signet I built in 85 and even though its got a roller cam 360 and weighs only 2500 pounds I'd sure like to use either a 5.3 or one of my 3 extra built zero miles LT1 engine's and one of the T56 trans I also have. At my age I am just happy enough to be above ground and on this planet and all six of my vehicles 2 Mopar, 2 GM, 1 VW and Mercedes coupe are all modified and great to drive.
Never sweat the small stuff and everything, every comment is just that, small stuff
