so it's back in place. Hot Rod Garage is doing a BBC, 4 speed, flared, conversion to metal bumper C3 ... the cynic in me wonders wherever they got such an odd idea... that said, I'm going to make this run next. I have all the brake stuff and while it won't even be done I am going to bolt the body to the frame and make this run.... with no doors, figure if I can inspire them then I'll take a page from their book too and just make it go.... Sunday is my goal....

80? Try 102*.
Cleaning out MIL's house in Des Moines a few years ago... Here in the great PNW it cools down at night, many times needing a shirt...
At DM, I woke in a sweat in my boxers... Sun barely peeking over the horizon... Stepped out on the back porch..ALREADY NASTY!
It is your home, I get that..

thread cleaners arrived (and got used)
now I can put this together forever
I took advantage of the body off one last time to put the sidepipe headers on
starting the bolt down process.... all the bolts are loosely in place, I'll build stands then shim and tighten it down
Doing it all wrong since 1966

blocks built
brakes bled
I love my power bleeder, it made this so simple
For those wondering what next....
- finish bolting down the body
- finish the cooling system
- make it run (wire the EFI, etc)
- give it a test run - yes before doors, or anything is back on the car
there is no way Hot Rod Garage beats me to the street....Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; August 4, 2019, 09:20 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966
