So I basicly finished up my '47( the garage sale car my wife bought for $700)
all in all we have about $2500 into the whole car(including buying the car) since the over hall and now my Tattoo guy want it for his girl .lol
the next one to come home is a '58 caddy 2 door a buddy bought that is super clean and he has not touched in 7 years and wants it gone lol well next after my 67 c-10 is done and the plymouth race car lol
here is the before's and afters of the 47
when we found it
was a 216 out of a '53 I hoped it up but pulled it to update drive line sold to a buddy for his '53 and broke even
boddy roughing in
so I sold the 6
splash oiling is not my fav and I have a couple trips I wanna take this car on so
the engine is a 73 350 out of a buddys winter car he was going to scrap it is had 45k on it but was basicly a frame and engine(buffalo lol) so it got a mild cam and a rering and an intake, the rams horn's are off my 67 the intake and carb were from some old build we did and then changed been on shelf for ever the trans is a glide with 25 k on it out of my buddys 69 nova I built him kept the trans when we put a 350 turbo in it
the rear end is out of my 57 with a 3:55 and a posi
I bought -tire and wheels(got for cost through work)
exhaust pipe
drive shaft(cost budy works at drive line shop)
and I traded welding patch panals in my uncles 73 charger for the interior(he owns a shop for that)
paint and I can not count my time
oh and engine mounts new in box from swap meet
here it is now
engine install
oh and a battery (cost at work)
