[TRDejaVu]

Niiiiice.

 

[JPSmit]

really nice Tony - congrats - nice to learn a new way of doing things too I'm sure

 

[3798j]

Impressive - and pretty too.

 

[DART]

IMPRESSSSSSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[drooartz]

Very cool. Certainly lots of room to work, even with that huge engine. Got to be fun trying your hand at something new.

 

[BabaKahawa]

Remember.... route 66 through the southwest..... can't wait to see it.

 

[tony barnhill]

You know, I told Jerri we should drive to the ocean on what parts of 66 are left once the car is finished.

 

[BabaKahawa]

Lots of great books on driving Route 66.... Lodging... Dinning..... attractions , etc.
It's something I have always wanted to do.

 

[tony barnhill]

Man, that engine just keeps looking better:

The distributor is on its way to Jeff right now!

 

[drooartz]

That's quite the beast of a motor!

 

[tony barnhill]

Stock L98 TPI engine has 230hp versus 180hp of 1977 engine.....but, that's with all the emissions stuff that I've removed! & we put a nice chip in my computer when we revamped it so the engine would work with my '77 electrical system.

I think you're 'bout half crazy puttin' all that time, effort 'n money into that sled... but I also know you're doin' it to a standard far in excess of what Chevy released as a finished piece.

I admire your dedicated effort. :laugh:

Tony;

Do NOT let these nah sayers dissuade you.
I like what you're up to.
I have a small block that is going to get this induction system as well.

Dave :thumbsup:

P.S. Did I say I like it?

Body is in 2 pieces awaiting the completed frame.....color will be 1979 MG Vermillion Red w/Silver stripes (right now!)

It ain't gonna leak.

...not so sure it'll negotiate corners well, tho. :wink:

Probably right, Doc...but, then, that's what <span style="font-style: italic">"SSsnake"</span> will be for!
