Some of you may be wondering, what ever happened to this car? did he give up? Well, I will leave you with a couple pics that should sum up what has happened since the last update lol. If anyones curious, I have dozens of pics of what I've been doing to the car to get it to this point and can put up a long post about it. I plan to start a new build thread however, since I feel this is a whole new chapter in this cars life and this thread is kinda lengthy anyway.

I've been busy on this car. Whole spring/summer/fall of fun. Doing some stuff I've always wanted to do to this car now. 383 stroker swap, got discs on the front, and now I'm collecting parts for a 4 speed swap (so much cheaper and easier with a Chevy engine but thats no surprise). Like I said before, I plan to have a new thread started for this car but I kinda feel like this is a good place to leave off.

Glad to hear your still at it and doing well, more importantly having a good time. What trans is in there now?

Thanks! Yeah its been a busy spring/summer/fall. I've put a lot of miles on the Olds 350 and 2 speed that were in the car including a road trip, the 383 swap is actually fairly recent. Right now it has a TH350 in it, I don't know all the details but I was told it was rebuilt and it looks like it, and it definitely has a shift kit. Either way, not what I want. It gets it down the road for now though. I've actually got a Pontiac Lemans rear end with bolt in axles and 3.23 gears thats going in the car along with the 2 groove saginaw, it should give me ideal ratios down low to pull hard in 1st and 2nd and then cruise in 4th.

Cool.
