Sorry to hear about your brother Dean, and the build is looking great.

Man that view from the top might help. I've got over 3 hours in this and still no luck. If I'm looking at that right, the part of the latch that moves is on the rear of the assembly. Might be able to get a screw driver in there and pry it back long enough to pop the hood. I also got to the...

Hello everybody, Its been a long time since I have posted on here, and this one is a bit off topic. Im messing with a 1947 Chevy Fleetline car. It has a remote hood opener (cable) in the car. But this car has been sitting for 50+ years and it is not working. I have tried going thru the grill...

Great build! Keep the pics coming.

Looks great. Thats going to look nice.

I went out to HPT sunday to check out the cars. I seen the 61 but didnt see anyone around to talk to. I Didnt see it friday at the last day when they got back to HPT. I was looking for it. It was a 61 post car with impala trim. Same paint sceme as mine. White with red insert. It was a nice car.

I wish. Have fun. One day Ill make it back out there for that!

Sounds like a cool build! Welcome aboard.

I used a 67 full size 12 bolt in my 61. I used new moser housing ends on it. I think they used a mopar bearing. But they were made/drilled to still use the stock Chevy 67 drum brakes. Give them a call. They were good to deal with and nice products.

I was experimenting with a Turbo at the time. Engine was out so I swapped to that cam and took the compression out of it. Before that it had 11.0:1 comp and a 617 lift sollid roller. It sure did run good then. It liked to be shifted at 6500-6700. This engine was put thru hell. It has been the...

Very nice!

These all sound like good combos. I've been running 400's for about 10-12 years. The. One in the 61 now has a stock crank, stock 5.7 rods, and KB hyper pistons. Basically stock. The comp. Is only 9.0:1. It has a comp sollid roller blower cam. 575 lift. Iron eagle 215 heads. Victor Jr. Intake...

Thanks. Don't hesitate if you have any qeustions.

I have a mild steel cage in my 61. With bench seat and rear seat. Although no home computer to post pics. There is a link to a MySpace page at the bottom of my post. From there just click on pics. There is a whole album from when I was building the car. The cage goes from the engine compartment...

I have the Buick stage 2 also.
