  1. After this virus BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH cools down I will go looking for a kit to get a 289.
  2. I think I am going to get that latest kit and just keep the rebuilder the way it is,I was wanting to find a 289 to drop in it but have not found one yet.
  3. It came with broken suspension so since the frame still has the spots for the original its going old school and with a flathead engine.
  4. I picked up a rebuilder that I think was the streetrod version,wanting to do it as a traditional hotrod so I picked up the stock suspension off Ebay but is this kit as bad as that switchers 32 Ford I just finished.
  5. Picked up a 64 Thunderbolt rebuilder and would like a stock hood and was wondering if one was made or time to remove the tear drop scoop.
  6. I was hoping to get this one done but once the weather starts staying nice I will be outside in the garage so most likely will be in the fall,I have two that are close to being done and will finish them first.
  7. Paint messed up so its soaking,
  8. Found a set of 5 lugs so on to be finished.
  9. I thought I had the six lugs traded for a set of 5 lugs but the person wanting them did not want to wait a couple days for me to find something to mail them in so I will use them on a future old Chevy truck project,I will look through my parts stash and see if I have a matching set of 5 lugs.
  10. Little Debbies are cheaper so I get them.
  11. I built one a couple years ago and those 70s wheels and tires had to go
  12. I was hoping to find a six cylinder from the AMT 60 Chevy p/u to make it one of the cheapest 57s but painted the engine yellow to be a 265 so it will have at least one option,trying to decide to use the six lug rims or find some 5 lug rims since its not going to be a Black Widow race car.
  13. Its starting tom look like a car now
  14. In the last three years I had to put a dog and a cat down and still miss them very much,would love to get another dog but I still work and not home much so last fall got another cat. Its not easy to let go and their memory will be around forever.
  15. It was built using some new and mostly junk parts.
  16. They were smoking something when that kit was designed.
  17. I am going to build the Revell version the next time.
  18. This is that switchers kit that is horrible,did not turn out perfect but got it more looking as a 32 then it was supposed to.
  19. The ZZ top coupe and the 90s chopped top version was advertised as having a sbc but actually had the Pontiac made to look like a sbc.
  20. I have two AMT roadster bodies so maybe time to see what I can make.
  21. I picked up a 64 thunderbolt rebuilder and would like to build it as a 289 hipo version so do any of the mustang kits have a good one.
  22. To keep costs down I buy rebuilders and try to use parts I have in stock along with parts picked up at swapmeets.
  23. I am still looking for one.
