Lookin sweet Rick! I remember seeing it on the stand during the painting phase at your annual get-together and the car I can personally vouch for as genuinally beautiful. Can't wait to see it in action in a few months.

I do remember and I dig the turquoise personally. You gotta love the burnouts, despite the fact you had a GIGANTIC sign saying, "No Burnouts Please".

I just yanked the 383 outta my New Yorker and have it next to the 440 so I can easily swap parts. I will be posting pics on my build and email you the link.

POR-15ing those frames like a champ! That's something I haven't done with mine yet, but will "get around to" in the coming years. Here's hoping this year I won't need to borrow a Campbell's Soup can to patch my exhaust!!!

:rofl:

awesome keep up the ambition. I remember years ago at a street rod show in Owensville ohio when my friends intake manifold had a problem. a hole appeared the size of a pencil eraser. casting must have finally gave up some sand. we j b welded it in the parking lot of an oriellys I believe. cut out a piece of a beer can patched it and in a couple hours we were on our way. moral of the story never underestimate the power of beer cans j b weld and more beer. keep up the good work.
 
well its getting to call a friend and have a beer fest and get building on the car again :rolleyes:
