    OUTSTANDING WORK! To think you accomplished all that in a relatively short amount of time! I'd still be sitting in the chair looking at a shell! Joe

    Thanks alot guys!. Lots of inspiration here from y'all! Yeah Motor got sum ballz for such a lil cubic inch. Has a 3.36 gear really could use a 4.11 but the 336 is much better on the highway. Gonna have to decide on that one..
    Heater is blowing hot air all the time. Was searching the hamb and I think I have the control valve plumbed up backwards. Hopefully switching the hoses around kills the heat! Don't hear any gurgling sound so maybe that's another clue it's wrong. Anyways waiting for this weather to get better to take her out again!

    thanks guys!
    thanks Joe,,, yeah car was originally from texas so the floors, trunk and stuff were really nice to start with. had to put partial rockers on both sides and the drivers side wheel well lip. Also, i remade the eyebrows on the front fenders. Probably wasn't really necessary but wanted to make sure it was right. Don't have a bean bag so i pounded the contour out on a bag of ready mix..:D
