Yep. 67 up would be a TON easier but with good fab skills all is possible. You might start a research on the exh. man./header situtionforths model. Manual steering I hope.
The exhaust situation would be made somewhat easier by using the HDK front end for early A body cars. It would at least eliminate the torsion bar, which is smack dab in the middle of any access to get the exhaust down through there. It’s difficult even with a small block
Yea it is. I can provide more info and pictures in a couple weeks when I can visit home for a weekend
So I've found the hooked headers on summit and plan on ordering them when I can. My dad's been outta the car building gig for bout 30yrs himself so he can only advise me so far. But any more help you can give would be appreciated and money isn't the issue it's being bought over time because the military don't pay all that well.
I'm spending as much as I can to make her reliable. It's being bought slowly because the military don't pay as well as you'd think. But I'm dedicated so as I get the cash I put it in to her. Unfortunately I gotta pay a lil debt off before I can start putting more money in the projectIt is always about just how many $$$$$$$ a guy wants to spend!!
I get a lick out of the MotorTrend flicks when the resto shop spends $10,000-15000 for the full frame for the guys Chevy.
Amd I feel guilty if I spend $2.50 per spark plug at Rock Auto!!!
If you catch me up to speed that be great because I kinda launched myself head 1st into this project without a whole ton of knowledge. But I'm dedicated to learn I bought a welder in advance because I figured I might need it and I have people that are willing to teach me how to weld its just trying to make time in my current active duty situation where I don't live with my car
I don't have a set in stone budget honestly. I'm just using what extra cash I have and go as I can. 1st I plan on getting her running then I'll do small bit by small bit. And I unfortunately don't get to see her to often she's about 4hrs away and I only see her once a month because military life is busy currently. I have a basic list started on summit but I could use some help with it to be honest. I'm just a 22 yr old kid with dreams and not enough knowledge. But I could use some help as she was just a roller when I got her so any advice for what kinda tranny she should have?Welcome to FABO!!!
Yeah, post up some pics so we can see what you're working with.
What is your budget?
Generally speaking you want to get it running, driving, and stopping first. Are you planning to drive it and do little projects at a time (that's what I prefer) or do it all at once?
Some folks like a shinny paint job, others just care about the way it runs.
My paint is 40 years old but still looks good from 10 feet.
It's always fun spending other people's money
I'm in Mayport and I'm trying to stay in the "Mayport mafia" and just do my sea and shore rotation and get out because of the woke stuff they keep pushing. So as an e4 who seemingly can't make Rank despite trying and failing 5 cycles (so far and probably more cause studying has always been a struggle) I'd at least like to have my project car running by the time I get out.
I understand wanting to get out because of the wokeness. I got out the army in 2007, I’d be retired now if I stayed in or dead. I was on pace for about 10 15 month deployments before I jammed out. Dustin
These are some pictures that I took yesterday. I'm only down for the weekend once a month so I can't do a whole lot just yet but I'll have more time soon enough
