Hot Rods Working on the Vicky body, a build thread with pics

Just a quick update...... I picked up one of the old Elgin manufactured Speed Pro L-79 cam and lifrer kits. Brand new, sitting on the guys shelf since the mid '60's. Popped it in along with my Manley pushrods. I need to pull one of the springs and run it over to the machine shop to have the pressure checked. I already had the 291, L-79 heads so the cam should be a decent match. The L-79's had 600 Holley single feeds to make 350 HP so My dual feed 650 should be okay for now. Busy as all hell every day so my time is pretty precious right now.

I'd love to find somebody who wanted to trade putty work for chassis work as I suck at Bondo. If anybody is interested shout out. The fellow who used to do it for me has medical issues so I'm at the disadvantage at the moment.

I have my seat ready to send over to Jerry, (Homemade Hardtop 57), for upholstery.

Just letting you guys know I haven't given up on making Fall Wildwood, ( for the fourteenth year in a row!).

 

...if I was closer....
it is coming together so nicely
