New guy in Cal, AB

[Rktpwrd]

View attachment 52742 It's going to have to be a slow process, as I have to get my current project back to running on the stock engine. I'll be pulling the BBC out, going to a single carb and using it in the new car.
I've been looking at ridetech coil over level 2 kit. Probably just a good th350 for now, pulling the diff and a few other parts from my old car as I had 3:73's and a BBC in it, so a lot of the chassis and exhaust will make the move. Of course big brakes and what not. Short term is to get it back on the street, make it stop and go quickly. Long term looking to do a mild pro touring car. Would like to be able to just jump in it and go for a drive to SoCal if I wanted to.

Sounds like a great plan for the build. I might be a bit biased tho, as I'm building a ProTouring car as well; an '80 Cutlass.
Ride Tech makes some great components, I'm using some of their stuff as well, only I'm going air ride rather than coil overs.

Feel free to check out my build thread titled "The Juggernaut" on here if you're interested.

Looks like it's going to be a killer car when it's done.

Congrats on getting it home!
Looking forward to seeing more pics of it. If its roadworthy, bring it down to the Okotoks show n shine tomorrow. I'll be there with my other G, Project Olds Cool.

Sadly it's not the, 267 is done. Washing it up today and putting it in the garage until I can start on it after Christmas. Have to get my 90 GMC sorted out to sell first.

Got the car cleaned up, and took all the chrome off to check under it, even the trim on the rockers was in good shape! Car now has it home in the garage until I can start on it.

Once I start on it i'll do a build album.

Haven't been on much, but I have been parts collecting. Picked up bucket seats out of a late 90's cavalier, a couple weeks back. But this past weekend was a good one! 1-1/4" front sway bar and the F-41 bars? as well as a rear sway bar. a gauge cluster with no idiot lights, ACCTUAL gauges! and the best part of all...a tilt column from a auto console shift car.
I'll be starting to work on the car in a couple more months, when time permits.
