    That turned out pretty slick, nice job on it too, I've often thought of one very similar.

    Not enough "mule" miles for that trip yet. I need to work out a few small bugs. All in all, pretty good so far though

    383 SBC short block with Isky cam and Mondello ported iron heads. TH400 and a junk 10 bolt out of an 80's Elcamino. All parts I had lying around for a budget build. I'll drive it as-is for now. Maybe later put a 4-speed and better rear end. But, for now, doing the interior in both my 38's and getting my 32 running are my next priorities
