Getting started for a midlife crisis
OK - Just joined the site because I will be working on a project for myself and family. I will probably have some questions as time goes on.
Wanted to but a car first but found a good block to start. Plan on getting it this weekend, cleaning it up and having it dipped / magnafluxed etc. I found a good machine shop close to the house (within 15 miles) who does all of their own machining. Talked with them and I feel comfortable.
I'll start a parts list but won't finish it until I decide what car I want it to go in. Looking for a roller (any year Camaro, older Nova, maybe even a Corvette) Planning on a decent build but haven't touched engines since High School, so I may be asking for some advice at times. A good friend of mine from High school has been working in the field for some time so he will provide some help too.
I want to do all of the work myself, just getting some more books to re familiarize myself with everything.
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
