Re: project underway. Updated pics 7/29

Great job car wheels & tires all look great. Maybe some painted to match factory sport mirrors & a 2" chevy cowl?

you have read my mind that is currently in my thought process.

Thanks Guys

Hey Guys, It's been a while since I posted up progress. I primed and painted the engine last month and this past Tuesday I got the frame back from sandblasting. As soon as it came off the truck my friend and I brushed on the SEM rust-shiled paint and spray painted the hard to reach places with SEM promax xrp. It looks great I think. This week I'll start putting the parts back together. I can't wait to get it put together.

Thank fully my friend in the pic helped out or it would have taken a while since we did it by hand.

We also got another friends 72 nova sub frame which we painted up later on that night. That one will be getting tubular arms and C-6 corvette brakes installed soon. I can't wait to see that.

Here are some pics.

The engine has the edelbrock rpm valvetrain package with the exception of the heads. I used 71 caprice heads and had them worked. The engine was rebuilt back in 98 and barely has 300 miles on it. I stopped working on the project for a long while after my Dad passed but have been on it lately to finish for him since I have procrastinated long enough.

The sandblast guy liked the dollies too when he pick up the frame a couple of weeks ago lol.
