Glad you came back! I have had a few projects I've sat on, just simply thinking about the "what to do with" factor! The hardest part sometimes is the "just do it" aspect! Start with a nuetral item, and once you get into it, the answers of what you want to do (rod or stock, which engine) will come to you!
Good Luck to you and happy wrenching!

Usually it turns in to a little more than 15 minutes but you get the point. As you "finish up' on piece your pumped to do another. Good luck to ya and try the 15 minute rule. Its amazing, just don't cheat  thanks for checking in. we're here for moral support to. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 290 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 290 | AMEN to the moral support......lol | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 42 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 42 | Here is my take, at this point in time there is a lot of interest in old chevies, meaning their are a lot of part sources and availability. The reason seems to be the price of scrap, when they are gone it will require you to purchase the Re-pop products most guys complain about.
Or pay me now or pay MORE later.
And by the way when I was working and restoring a 36 Plymouth I informed my wife one hour a day was mine to devote to the restoration, regardless of other obligations, we had a understanding and she was most pleased with the result.
