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.
Moving on to next phase of frame reconstruction . Due to the Trans location I need to build a new center section for the X member. 1st cuts have been made . [/URL] I will use this 6"dia. ...
