<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jbsides</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I dig the way that thing sits and looks. Is it as nice as it looks in the pic? Why not just drop in a zippy sbc/TH350 and regear the 10-bolt and have fun driving it for a while? You could be cruising correctly quickly. And after you get bored with it in a year or two, first do a 12-bolt, then the bbc/springs, etc., then brakes, etc. Take the incremental approach rather than all at one time. You get to enjoy your ride while eventually getting it the way you ultimately want it.

Just a thought.

Hey JB. I just put the car in the shop this week to take care of a few rust issues. Changing a quarter and repairing a lower fender and the rear window channel. Nothing too major but significant. I am not going to do what I did with my 68 and have it off the road restoring it for 7 years not to finish it. This car will be driven as a daily driver as often as possible. I need to be able to drive my car or I will go nuts!
