    I like the Olds plug wire holders on the chevy v/c. I always wanted to do that on a small block.
     
  2. Yeah, that was Mikey's idea and a very good one. He wanted to run without the hood this year so we all tossed around some ideas to help the ol SBC look a little more vintage if you will. Really neat set and coupled with the Grant Flamethrower, should make for some very slick and neat routing of the plug wires. :cool:
     
  3. Very nice, kepp it up and keep those pics coming!

    Not much to report today...
    Body is all done and goes "Snake Skin Green" Saturday morning. The engine gets mounted on Saturday also. Then evrything will be waiting for the body to arrive at the shop. Have all my materials ready for the interior, and wood floors will be ready to fit by time the paint dries. So now its time to wait for the pieces to come together and on schedule.
    Here is a pic of the rims... they turned out good!

    hey wtf is upholstery some thin new in hotrods?
     
  11. Project is coming along as good as we had planned it too. Went and saw the body today after clear. Still a wet sand and buff and then off to upholstery Tues/Wednesday. We'll be able to get the harness started and hopefully wrapped up Wednesday-Saturday. Then right on track to get the body back and hopefully mounted on the frame this weekend. :cool:

    Holy shit is this thing looking good! Fantastic job and big kudos to Brian and Jeff.
