Gonna be nice when you get more work done on yours I know that will be a great build.
Not really doing a build thread on mine. Just posting some pics here and there. Keep up the good work, hope you have a heated shop to keep it progressing this winter.
I don't know about great. Kind of loosing my anal-ity (did I just make a new word?) It would be nice to just drive her again. It wont be as nice as yours. That's for sure.

Post some pics my way if you can on your build.

Like I said before pictures always look better than the real thing and I know you will do a great job.
You mean post some here on your thread?

It's OK with me I like seeing everyone's cars go ahead.
I guess I should start my own resto thread when I get time. I will have to back track. I don't want to clutter yours with my junk, lol. Heres a pic of where I'm at now.
That's all ya get, lol.
Keep an eye out for my thread .

Looks good Al I think you and I are about in the same spot on our build.
Love the color and just a bit of the wheel showing but looks like the ones I'm thinking of putting on mine.
Wheels are the same as the ones on my Van. Tourqe thrust with gray spokes. A little over a $100 apiece. 15 x6 on front and 16x8 on the rear. I can get you the seller's site if you like em. They have all kinds.

If you have time yea.
What engine and tranny are you putting in?
I had a freshly rebuilt 360 from 5 years ago sitting in the garage I plan on using, along with a 4spd that came with the cars I bought and a 3.23 8 3/4 rear.

Good combo will be good cruising gears. I'm running 4.10 and with the Gear Vendor puts me at 3.22 if I remember.

Comin along Fred. Good job. What kind if any floor mods are necessary for the GV unit?

Well working on that, so far just a few hammer marks in the tunnel is what I've been told. I ran it thinking it needed to be lower than stock but I was wrong.
Did you find any drawbacks to the gear vender? I think we discussed this but I forget. Something about revers or something. IDK, maybe someone else.

We talked about it and yes reverse. If you do away with the computer and run it on Manuel than you best not have it in over drive when you put it in reverse you will toast the over drive. But easy to fix on an automatic. I like it,been running it for 2 years and no problems so far and will handle more HP than I'll ever put in front of it.
