    Schools is out and I am off for the summer(I'm a science teacher). I have been waiting 7 years to start this project and the time has arrived. I will post more photos as I progress.

    This sat in my friends back yard for years before I finally talked him into selling it. It has never been apart.

    Here it is with the hood removed. The hood is now media blasted and at the metalman for a little m***age. Unfortunately, that flathead is full of cracks and too costly to rebuild. I am leaning toward an early SBC with fuel injection.

    Sbc? Might be the ideal time to explore something really interesting. Caddie flat head comes to mind. Others?
