Okay guys, I thought I'd start a thread on my 67 Notch. I've had it for about 14 years, and it's been buried inside my shop for the last 8 or so. I recently decided to dig it out and get it back on the road. It was literally buried in old junk. I should've took some pics of it before I pulled it out to show all the stuff piled on top of it, but here's one just after getting it out.
Here's one after a quick wash off.
Now, my shop has always had a dirt floor, with plywood layed down over part of it. Not the best situation for working on stuff, but I've always managed. Well, I decided if I was gonna work on the 'notch, it was gonna be in a better situation. So, I spent the last few days pulling everything out of the shop, and getting it ready for a concrete floor. I also tore down the old doors, and will be redoing them as well.
If you look in the next pic, you can see blue lines across the back wall at the bottom. That's the "level" line for the concrete. The ground is unlevel inside. The slab is gonna be 4 inches thick on the left side, and will vary from 8 inches to almost 14 inches down the right side. I should be able to park a tank on it when it cures. We'll be pouring it tomorrow, and should have the car back inside this weekend.
First thing on the agenda is to get her cleaned up good. Next, the motor is coming out. It's got a 318 in it right now. I rebuilt it right before I parked the car, and it only has about 30 miles on it. But it's gonna be replaced with a "warmed over" 360. I've got a '71 model block and crank that I had machined before I last parked the car. It's been bagged, and sitting in a spare bedroom for about 9 years. I'm gonna use it for the basis of the new build. A rear end upgrade will be the 2nd thing tackled, after the motor.
I'll post some pics of the new 'slab' tomorrow.
