It's in!!!!

My first "car", a 1960 Belair. Pulled the six with auto and freshened up a 454 with 4 speed OD standard tranny to replace it. Finally got it in this morning. Would not have gotten to this point with out the guys here at CHR answering my dumb questions, thanks guys...

Would you believe I am probably still under $5k on this one (including the price of the car) I have been wheeling and dealing on eBay for parts.

Here some choice pics, see the whole build photo essay at the link in my signature.

Major change from when you first purchased it!!!:D

I really like the '60 body style, and that tudor post will make a great sleeper. The motor looks great also. The blonde Lab doesn't look too impressed though - or is that a Golden Retriever?

Thx guys, Thats Gus, the golden retriever. He won't be impressed until he hears it fire up.

Good install Gus!!! Looks like the car came from the factory with the big block!

Gus does look clean and well done . Hope you dont have to much sight trouble driving around with the hood up . LOL Cash wise your coming in sweet and low great way to build .

Love those '60 2 door posts. Nice project.
