Ive let this car sit for the last 6 months for lack of interest/weather/other projects.
Its in pretty sorry shape, but alot father than when I drug it home..
no motor, tranny or rear
traded a rusted out 79 malibu 2 coupe for it.
picked up a 1977 010 350 out of a ton ran on propane.
a gasket kit, few cans of engine paint and oven cleaner.
had the th350 from the bu I traded for it left over, and a spare rear from a parts car I bout
Now it sits, with a caliper with the bleeder screw broke, no engine fan or rad, flat tires, no alt. Either because of plans I had, i.e. better rad and e-fans adn cam swap (sold the cam).
new plan. bought caliper this morning, need to re-redneck the rad back in and put fan back on and junkyard find a alt. Get it running, pull chrome and bumpers/grill off. Paint the car with either rusteloeum or my dad recommends Sherman Williams version of the same stuff. Differnce is we have 6 gallons of the rusteloeum and we're out of the SW. Paint it flat black, paint wheels, bumpers and trim with gloss black, bondo the dash and cover it and plastics with truck bed liner.
Idea is just to get moving around and looking better to hold my interest, plus practice painting on, on the cheap then worry about what it will run in the quarter.
