Nice drive in the hills, I would much rather hear engine sounds than the music also. The guys on the bikes looked like they were having some fun.

That is an interesting way to add a turbo to his car, I wonder how long it took him to engineer that one...

The wire going to the distributer is actually something like 8 volts, they used a resister wire to drop voltage to the points to make them last longer with out burning up. You can look around and find a switched 12 volt(comes on with the key) and route it from there, you have to do this on any pre 73 car when you upgrade to the HEI electronic ignition.

Thanks Rykxus, It was a fun project, I do have to thank my lovely wife who helped me through the whole thing. She was my extra pair of hands, she also did a lot of sanding and painting of POR 15 on the underside of the body, frame and suspension. We started in December by stripping my 2 parts cars, a rusted badly 68 gto and a smashed 72 Lemans sport, I used some of the parts and the rest went on Ebay. I made enough selling parts to finance the parts I bought for it. We started in december spending almost every waking moment in the garage and I took her for a ride on the 4th of July. The car isn't perfect, and never will be because I drive it whenever I can, but it is one hell of a driver and a good time was had by all.

Nice ride and Welcome.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome

Welcome, I went and found your facebook page.

Nice car, and welcome

Thanks Sam, it was a lot of work but well worth the effort.

Way to go dude!

"Critics said the vehicle promoted violence" that is a completly retarded view. Thats like saying pencils cause spelling errors. The truck is pretty cool though.

About 25 of them got saved by me and my buddies. I know a lot of people showed up and were buying, but I do not know how many got crushed. In a way I am not sure if I even want to know how many got scrapped...

The project is lookin good, I saw a lot of similar sites working on mine Lots of the parts are the same even. Good luck with it and keep pluggin along, it will all be more than worth it when ya get it out on the road.

My buddy Rob took some video as I was going over to his house, not bad for crappy cell phone video. Goin to the neighbors Video

When it snows here I fire up my ol suburban and plow the driveway ...

Thanks everyone.

Sweet, looks like fun.

Some stuff looks great and some of it makes me wonder why they even bother doing it. Thanks for the posting

Welcome Sam and nice to meet ya. Great lookin bird ya got there.

Reading about the rescue party reminded me of something and I pulled out my pics and made an album to go with the story.... A few years ago I was talking with a buddy of mine and he was telling about something he heard from a friend of a friend(you know how that is) about a guy that passed on and his collection was being cleaned out, it was mostly parts cars and restorables and his family was going to have a crusher come in, however, they could be bought and removed for scrap price wich was $200 a car at the time. We went and took a look, I borrowed a grand, made several trips.... Anyway, here is a sample of what we found on the guys 80 acres or so of property.. http://photobucket.com/intheweeds

I updated the first post with the link to the photobucket album.

Because the hinges are crap and I have yet to buy a good set

Am I too late to get in on this?
