Christmas gift from my two sons, my neighbor made it.

I think my first car was a Buick. I remember it had "holes in it's sides" :lol: Similar vintage to that one.
According to my daddy, that was the measure of class... it was either a "3-holer" or the pinnacle "4-holer". We only had a 1953 3-holer. That was in about 1957. We later upgraded to a 1955, but still only a 3-holer.
 
Two thumbs WAY up from this Ford truck guy! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Which engine did you go with? I can't quite make it out....

Nice shop, too!
Thanks! One of our BluePrint 347's. paired with a Gearstar 4r70w. sniper 2. like this, but w/o the flashy valve covers.

Ah! Factory Five Racing! I was considering building a Mk3 a number of years ago, but then my (negative comment deleted) neighbor got one...

And then we bought a new house, and the outbuilding (future shop) needs some work....

Beautiful engines you build! Sure wish you built 460's, as I'm starting to put together a "wish list" in my head on my "last car". (I told my wife that once the shed/shop is built I want to build "just one more car that scares me", and since I'm retiring next year...).
