Well, I dont know if it's karma or what, but this morning I purchased a 1985 chevy caprice 2 dr, hit in the right front.... Seemed a good deal, especially with the fresh 305 (less than 10,000 mi) and a recent TH350, all for 200.00.
yes, i'd rather it was a 350, but.... price was right.
SO.... the parts have fallen into place- I have a '57 gmc panel body, an '89 s-10 pickup to donate the frame, and now the caprice for a drivetrain. Throw in my wrecking crew (3 sons, pre-teen and teen) and We have the makings of some fun!! I'm thinking something along the lines of the little rascals project, low tech, low-buck and a lotta fun.
I'll start gathering stuff and taking pics in a week or so, thanks in advance for all the help
thanks, jon
