i got to drive her around a country block. still not road worthy (don't tell the cops) got her going fast enough to feel some major bump steer so a kingpin rebuild in in order. i made my goal to drive her before winter set in. now my goal is to get her roadworthy and legal before summer hits. would be cool showing up at a few local shows with her.

 

That is a very good day. Keep it rolling and enjoy.

 

That's awesome!

 

Life is good, beautiful day, gorgeous property, happy dogs, and last but not least driving a rare piece of Americana. I love it.

 

That was awesome!!!! Keep it going, can't wait till summer!!

 

Nice!


I'm super jealous!

Congrats on the milestone. The more we listen to these beauties, the more they clearly tell us what is necessary vs. wanna haves.

Very cool. I can't wait to drive mine again

 

Sounding sweet! What a great day!

 

well as it turns out the transmission was blown and in order to pull the tranny i had to pull the motor (because of the one piece crossmember) which meant i had to pull the front end sheetmetal off. so i did not want to put the old and tired motor back in so i went ahead and did a motor/tranny swap.motor is a 302. tranny ia a c6. i had to cut and modify the crossmember. i can now unbolt it to get the tranny out. i also made a new motormout crossmember. then i got some headers that i had to modify to clear the stock starter and motormounts. what a nightmare that was. so now i've just about got the exhaust hooked back up then i can reinstall the sheetmetal and then do everything else. ha!
