The terrible secret of space... :stonk: the Mods, they knew!
POSTER: Coltron4040
VEHICLE: 1968 Chevelle
GOAL: Custom Restoration Daily Driver
DIFFICULTY: Nothing I shouldn't be able to handle.
COSTS: $750 for car 10 years ago when I was like 14, Engine rebuild 4 years ago $3000, Dual 2 1/4 inch exhaust w/Spintech mufflers $800. Still needs complete interior and exterior restoration.
LINK: No main project thread until I get the garage cleaned out.

I might have put a little to much into the motor as we decided to keep the original 307.
Its over-bored, has a 3/4 race cam and lifter set, heads are port and polished with 3 angle valve seats.
The engine looks a little grimy but it's powder coated so it will be an easy clean up.

Future plans include new trans and rear end, as the Powerglide sucks unless I want to use it as a 1/4 mile car. Might shorten the rear end while I am at it so I can put some wider tires on it.
New suspension and brakes, will probably go performance.




Bonz0, you don't really have it that bad.
