Hey all,
Took possession of a car I had been trying to buy for 20 years from a friend. Ultimately he gave it to me. Shortly thereafter I joined the world and made a few contacts that have been very help full. This thread is being generated as a thank you to all the members that helped me along the way. Thanks guys. This is what my 73 2.0 looked like when I loaded it I built a sandrail in the late 80's and I put a 215 Buick in a mid engine chassis and really loved driving it, so I started to hunt for one when I made contact with JRust. Thanks for providing a buildable core. Having saved the headers I built for the sand car when I sold the motor to a guy that said he was building a replica Dan Gurney Indy car from I think he said 1965, some minor cutting and welding to reconfigure and presto a set of 180 degree bundle of snakes for my new project. Decided 3" would sound and run well so here is what I did. Stay tuned everyone, I'll try and make time tomorrow to post more progress |

after a bit of work the car looks spectacular and the painter was happy that there wasn't any rust repair or body work(dents) that needed to be repaired. Paint and body was all provided by a friend in Huntington Beach Lance "Bones" Rowlett. Car is currently being driven and is a blast to drive. there are some finishing touches required a little overspray here and there, gauge cluster lighting needs to be looked at as the headlight switch needed to be replaced and I may have connected something wrong or blown a fuse. Next major acquisition would be a gearbox with taller gears as this thing gets up and boogies but runs out of gear on the frwy. Thanks for all the kind comments, hope to see you all at the gatherings and on the frwys. |
