i just picked up this ss from colorado last week. its in really nice shape, with the only rust being surface rust on that rear quarter. all original ss with original trim and all. its got a 350 with a powerglide and 4.10's. should be a pretty good build. i've got big plans for a 702 and maybe even a twin turbo setup...

well, as of right now im not sure on the time. when i get done with school in june im going to four link my ford, 2.5 ton rockwells and 54's but after that, the 5sfte is next. im looking at starting the chevelle around feb or march. im still debating on tubbing it or not, and if i tub it out im going to do a flat black. if not then i will most likely go candy apple red with pearl white stripes. it will be fun but im looking at about a year because this ones going to be a frame off... once i get started i'll post some pics of my ford, chevelle, and the 5sfte...

I just realized that my Neighbor 1 field over has a crap load of these old cars. Of course there all junk tho. Nothing really worth digging through.
