I am not looking to keep it original, shooting for more Classic Hotrod. It rusty and doesn't run, but I think all the parts are there. I have lots of welding and fabrication experience, but have never redone an old vehicle before. I have read the Tom Brownell Chevy book cover to cover a few times, I have also read a good amount of posts on this site, I will have it in the garage within a few weeks and looking forward to getting into it. Any advice/reading/machine shops. I would like to do the whole thing, but don't have any engine/transmission experience.
I am in Monterey Ca. and it anyone is local I would like to hear from. Good part places, swap meets, mechanics, car clubs. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | welcome to the bolt. a lot of members from your state,you will have a lot of help here,regards..Fred

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!
