Howdy, did you get the link I sent to yer personal user cp on here. Let me know if not I'll post it in this thread.
I thougt it was Don, Telling me to leave!.......Yes, I did get the link, ( thank you ) put it in my favorites was going to check it out to night. The reason I was look'in was my brother-in-law has one in a 75 chevy, that he just gave up on, and if I can find a way to make it even a half-as* running motor>>>ThEn I CaN BuY It ReAl ChEaP, FiX It, And RuB HiS NoSe In It%*^@#$$% ..... **) ......SoRry ? What I ment to say is " I could help the young fellow out " Anyway what kind of car? are you building for your wife,? :o
It's a 63 Nova Wagon. She loves the car and when the 194 6L took a dump I threatened to sell it. Untill I got in to move it around fer street cleanin', and fell in love with it. So I bought a "rebuilt" 305 fer $200 off some kid who put some time and $ into gettin the thing stock. Well the thing has 200 easy in parts and i dont run anything untill i have a chance to go through it to check every nut and bolt and that started my journey fer 305 info. it's an economical sb for the kind of money i have, though there is always an opinion on the subject of sb findin'. "go to the junk yards and get a 350" and so on. Anyway thats my story an i'm stickin to it.
I have a 64 , and my wife has a 78 . I rebuilt a 250 straight ,6 & put it'in it for her. "I- think they're really good motors-personaly " put a 350 auto' in with it , just need to save about 5 grand to get the" titanium' white and "pearl "ghost flames she wants now. man those new paint prices will kill you ( 3 & 7 stage) but, what you going to do?....Krylon??! That should be the new poll: HOW many ( when you first started out) tryed the Krylon thing :HMMM: ? Know body would tell the truth!........................................... is there a picture of your 63 wagon on here? sure like to see it, I don't care if it's under construction or setting on blocks. :)
Yeah Tree just click on the camera next ta my name. Is there a college (city,state,tech) where you live that offers autobody courses or paint tech? I became friends with a teacher at city college here and it is invaluable the resources they have especially if ya take a semester or just strike a good bargain with some o the students or teachers themselves. When I hurt my neck and was laid up from work I would go down to the college and hang out. Well I got to know some o them and a full paint job aint as expensive as before if ya know what i mean. I know you might think yer a little older than that but friends are friends and thats the kind of friends i like havin. now i aint sayin that was my motivation to get somethin outa it but these are some of the resources available if yer like me and dont work in any kind of trade industry. anyway im ramblin.
PINK huh? that will be cool ( I've got a buddie that took his wifes 96' extended cab, long-bed & painted it BRIGHT pink & she just loves it ). the plymouth looks like its going to be pretty cool. How big of a chop is that , doing the work your self ,? I'm with you on the merc. I have always wanted a 51.:CRY:
not ,amazing but a heck of a-lot better (at lest you could drive it ) think I'll call the parts store tomorrow,(today) ,check some prices, and maybe start "warming his nose up" don't think the vortec parts are going to be worth it to me. What did you end up doing & what do you think now?
