    @anthony myrick - The '61 Chevys had 4 headlights and twin nostrils, the best of the lot IMHO. The '63 I had just lacked that flair.

    I got a better cab and doors I’m messing with
    Has perfect rockers and a nice floor but needs a roof , go figure.
    Top skins are easier then floors anyway
    Current cab is usable. It’s the sons and he digs it like it is.

    Just bought a 63 galaxie 500 boxtop R code 427 car. Getting it on it's wheels so I can move it around. No engine or trans but a real R code roller. Have to finish a couple cars in the shop then will start on the Galaxie. Was an old drag car. Raced at utica rohm dragway back on the day has 15 cl*** winner stickers on the window. Found a fresh 427 sohc engine and trans for sale if i can come up with the cash. I know the sohc is not the right period engine for the car but who cares. lol lol

  15. Mike, that’s super cool, it kinda reminds me of the Corvette set up. Will you have it at Lloydfest?

    We'll see how it works out. I’ve had this on the wall for almost 10 years.

    That flathead looked great but the Caddy will put much bigger smiles on your face when leaving the stop lights

    Those are just drop-dead gorgeous. I think an identical set with thee correct bold pattern and correct sizes would be perfect for Clarence.

    Went to put the engine in, and had a snafu. Never measured for clearance for the crank pulley. Sliced and diced the crossmember for clearance. Just have to weld the gussets in. Brake lines will need to be redone as well. Works out well, decided I’m going to get the clutch and bell all setup before putting the engine in anyway.
