How long did it take you to complete your /6 conversion? And by complete I mean in general running daily drive-able - we all know our cars are never finished being worked on! From 2 separate starting points....
A) From making the decision of wanting to do a /6 conversion and starting to collect parts/engine - to completion. B) Beginning the actual conversion of removing the /4 engine and installing mounts/lines/oil tanks/etc - to completion. Feel free to add any details that might have influenced how long it took...e.g. married, 5 kids, 3 jobs, 10 other project cars, etc etc. |

It took me about 7 1/2 months from the day I purchased the car to driving it to the WCC in Seaside!
Lennies914 and I built 2 cars durring that time! His Black one and my 6 conversion! He helped me with the hard stuff and I helped him with his! We spent at least 2 days a week working on one car or the other together and countless hours working on them ourselfs. The thing that took the most time was waiting for the group buy on the oil tank. I already had the motor and most of the 5-lug conversion stuff. I hosted a Dr Evil Clinic at my house so the transmission came together just in time! |
