Thanks guys.... yeah pretty much doing suspension and brakes and some new wheels and tires little by little over the summer. I have been looking for a 454 4 bolt block, I have built a bunch of sbc stuff but really wanting to do a bbc and build a 496. But the car is just a real solid west coast car, and the car does not need any real body work id rate the paint a 6-7/10 though

Well car is now at wills he is doing the gears and while he is in there he will be overhauling the rear brakes with new drums,shoes and hardware. Goin 4.10 gears and he is going to install the rear shocks and traction bars....one hell of a dude.

 

Now I just got the carb back from rob and he did a great job, I gave him a gummed up old 750 dp and a rebuild kit. and he gave me my carb back looking like this
