scicala I'm not really going for period correct or all original. I'm trying to bring it back to what my dad had when he was in his 20s. I would have put a 312 in it but I can't afford it at this point in time so the 292 he had will have to do. He had it for over 54 years and 45 of those years it sat buried in the garage. I want to get it drive-able first and work on all the details later. I don't want to put it off for 40 years myslelf waiting for perfection.
Hopefully by the end of the year it will at least run down the street and stop on it's own
I would really like to add power steering and disc breaks but that's several thousands I don't have to spend on it right now. I spent way too much just getting the body work done to it's current condition. Luckily my uncle was happy to do it and his friend did a lot too. I bought all the materials and my mom helped pay for his friends labor.
