People like sketchy. Look at how many movies Nicholas cage keeps making.
The more issues something has the more impressive it gets that its on the road as-is, and, the more amusing it becomes.

You know, it just struck me, I bet we could convince MrSony to make a special trip out and straight pipe that bad boy.....
Embrace the sketch.
Picked this shifter up today. It’s from a sixties GTO supposedly. I think it will be a nice addition to this car. Especially since the original shifter was for 200-4r and I have a TH350 in it now. Too bad it doesn’t have the bend like the one from my 79 H/O.

After a long weekend of getting the 62 vette painted, I went up into the attic to grab the lower moldings from the car. I also had a few stored in the trunk. When I opened it I was surprised to see the trunk light working. I guess my trips around the block are working her back in slowly.
I also retarded the timing quite a bit, and it’s running way better.

Yesterday I had a little time so I threw the fan on, zip tied and loose wires, and put the fan shroud on. Decided to take it for a spin. Went a little further than normal, but had to get home to take my son to cub scouts. A little later on we took the car out and ran it for about 25 minutes. Runs pretty good. Still have to finish wiring up the choke, and retard the timing a bit. Might have to replace the brakes, as they’re pretty pitted. Also really needs the tailpipes. But the car puts a smile on my son’s face.

62 Vette body is ready to be picked up. Still have to polish the doors, and paint a few more pieces. Waiting on some green to continue, so I played with the car a little. Hood hinges back where they belong, and a little bit of wiring taken care of, but still a lot to do. I have been driving it for short trips, and I’m jealous of the engine in this car. It runs way better than my Malibu, but it’s way uglier and louder.
I came across this pic of a GP. It’s basically what I’m going for, just not as low, and blue.

Got rid of the POS 62 Vette that’s been tying up my garage today, and I was able to get a real car inside. I decided to break out my amazon glue pulling kit to mess with the dent in the drivers door. I managed to get it about 75% to where I want it and decided to call it a night. I really need the good glue my job sells, so I’m not fighting it. I definitely can get the door where I need it though.
