I’m almost 70 and man I dread the day that I’m not allowed to drive my cars anymore.
C6 auto normally runs behind a 390.
Those wheels are always the right choice!
You’re making this way more difficult than it needs to be. With your 289 block all you need is a 302 crank, rods, and pistons (.040 over). Use...
My 57[ATTACH]
I believe it was around $500 possibly less. This was in 2022 so maybe slightly more now. But still pretty affordable. There was a lot of elbow...
[ATTACH] I painted this with Summit Racing primer, single stage color and 2k clear. I’ve never painted a car before, but hey it looks great from...
I like your choice of vehicle!
This looks awesome! Great work!!
Love the 59!! Good luck with it.....

Oh man!! I LOVE that!

Just thought I'd update this thread a little. I installed a Jegster cage in the car and then put in the coilover rear shocks. I'm probably going...
That's pretty much why I stopped trying to go to this one. It used to go to 7:30-8:00 now they're all leaving by 6. By the time I get off work and...
I'm making a little progress on mine....
Thanks for all the input, guys! I'll update or start a new thread as I get things done. I'm going to build the roll cage and rear coilovers first,...
While I like the dropped staight axle idea, I also like the rack and pinion steering on this, plus I already have this so I'd like to try and make...
The plan is to race it, so I want something pretty stable in there.
