    Holidazed sent me some pictures of his project so here goes.
    And yes his garage is that small, no camera tricks here.

    I remember seeing the old lady's Cutlass this was pulled
    from back when I lived in Seattle.
    the 455 with 2 fours.

    And my latest success, I badgered him into finishing the
    Camaro clip when I was up ther getting my Stude ready to
    come home to Texas.
    I don't think it is going to sit low enough, but I tend to
    go too far with my own rides. not bad for a couple
    weekends of work.

    Don't mind that SBC in the background it is for decoration only.

    Car look's clean. I painted my 455 Red as well. Like to 'ave those valve cover's!

    Are those hardin marine valve covers with the "hardin marine" shaved off, and polished? If not...where'd you get them??

    Looks like a nice motor...nice car too!

    I know he was using some boat parts, not sure about the
    valve covers.
    Holidazed you out there??

    Yah, I'm here... thanks for posting those Ty. I think I picked those valve covers up at a swap meet--the center part just looked cast like the rest of it. The third pic is my progress so far---mid 70's Z28 front clip installed. Just got a few more welds to finish up. Then rebuild it.
