This build came about as a gesture by some friends, family, and other car nuts. I have severe health issues stemming from Crohn's diseases with induced Rheumatoid arthritus. I draw photo realistic pencil art of muscle cars and classics as a way to cope.
I spent most of last yr in the hospital or recovery, and at the end of it all I came away severely diminished in my capabilities. I need help from family and friends on a daily basis.
A gofundme titled the same as this thread was started to originally purchase another turnkey driver quality car for me, as I sold the ones I had when I first got sick. Family obligations come first. What has come about is a little different.
We have had donated: a 1978 Malibu that is rust free except for some in the floor pans, a 4 door parts car, the towing costs were waived as donation, a gen 5 454 rotating assembly and heads fully machined and ready( block cracked and was discarded), a TH350 transmission (needs a pump & fresh over haul), and various tools and accessories needed to do the work were donated, someone has donated time to come and weld in the new pans when ready, assembly and prepping of the engine will be donated once a block is found.
I will post progress as funds and parts allow and more work is done.
