Today had to pull the headers as no access to put in middle bolts. Installed factory manifolds, distributor, pulleys, front shocks and started the wiring.

Well rough two weeks. Had to change frame as the one I had was twisted and misaligned. My dumb hurry to get a frame and did not check for accuracy. I got a new frame and transferred everything over to new frame and installed it. Also installed the wiring and the support braces across front of frame area. plan is to have it running next weekend.

If your really sticking to the sleeper look, witch I love those kind of cars, lose the raised white letter tires. Buick wheel covers look great though
