got some stuff done this weekend (i have weird days off) i took everything out of the car to inventory everything and shop vac the car out then prepped and painted the grill and j lines doesnt show to well in the pics cause its over cast today but i did the grill and j lines gloss black with duplicolor clear effex over it when in the shade or at night they just look gloss black but in the sun they explode with color this pic of the wheels i was going to run on my old 620 shows the effect off well also got the back glass from shelly (the yellow 76 at the beginning of this thread for the newbies) installed

which is why this is an old style one with a lot of changes such as ported heads bigger valves flat top pistons the works

thanks man this car will be with me till i die i built it the first time with my dad so i have a very strong attachment as for a small block not sure where you got that idea small block was never n the plans at any time lol l20b is about 300 lbs where as the 4.3 is about 420 a little heavier but length wise about the same so most of the weight will be in behind the front wheel centerline

well the original car was named shelly after the main female character from my favorite movie when that one got totaled i wanted a similar yet different name so michelle won out as for side exit im toying with that idea once i have the 4.3 in it

as much as i love my car i have to disagree

it had also been sitting for years and had a non functioning choke lol

but it finally happened we have paint

3 day weekend ment i got some stuff done i got the car running again bled the brakes and clutch got my coilovers dialed in the back now to get this paint finished https://imgur.com/jtS3oOV
