Well i got her home and got her situated in the garage. I have been collecting parts since January. I had the notion to thrash on it and take it to Round Up but I finished my Burb instead. Plans are bags, disc brakes, either a LS1 and 6 speed manual or a small block and 3 speed manual. I have the small block and trans so that may be the route.

What Do you think?

**cakes** · 04-30-2011, 08:16 PM

Please no LS1, do the small block

t-buckethead · 04-30-2011, 08:18 PM

that frontend looks familiar,maybe a chop,suicide doors,and a visor?? cool...

hey thats a kool roller deal for your torch

old_dan · 05-03-2011, 11:33 AM

My family gave me one of the Henrob torches for Christmas. I've been practicing, but my cuts don't look that clean yet. The welds are starting to look better than mig welds, but I need work on the cuts.

**Suicide-D** · 05-06-2011, 10:03 PM

Yeah the torch took some practice. I like it.
I got some done today after replumbing my garage for air.

The drums will be free to whoever wants to come get them.

Got some crap done. Sucks working solo...pulling the body off solo will be interesting.

DYNODANNY · 05-07-2011, 06:50 PM

Cool ride, the ls swap with the 6 speed would be cool depending on the build. But you cant go wrong with an sbc and 3-4 speed. Will be watching your build.

Pensive Scribe · 05-07-2011, 06:55 PM

I got one of those torches years ago when they were called Dillon. You've got a long and useful relationship ahead of you. Don't drop it the brass head can break off. I like the sloper Chevies.

Makes me miss my 50 fleet line. Even though it's a tough a chop could look nice on that car.

**Suicide-D** · 05-08-2011, 09:24 PM

I need some car friends.

Solo frame removal. Jesus did assist.

Special Sam · 05-08-2011, 09:57 PM

I like your car. I'm also jealous since you appear to be able to work on your car. Enjoy yourself as you never know when fate will take that ability away. I farted around too long and now it's too late to do the things I want to do to mine. Keep at it and get it done and enjoy the shit out of it. Agree a chop would look great on it but I know that's a pretty big job on that car. I would also go with the SBC.

**MoparMan4GZUZ** · 05-08-2011, 10:15 PM

please tell me you are not keeping the body on cement blocks. VERY UNSAFE....

well they will be under it until Tuesday when I get some help. hopefully they hold up.

**Suicide-D** · 05-21-2011, 06:42 PM

Well I got it all braced up today to put her on the rotisserie. I had some issues with the floor and it was suggested in this thread ( http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=591446 ) that I put it back on the frame to brace her up.

so I did. I also pulled the windshield and back glass.
