61 progress

[Mearl]

I haven't put up any pictures in a while, so here is some proof that I have been working on the 61. I still have to work on the hood and install the interior, which I have,
I had CARS bring it to the Springfield swap meet last year. I dread the headliner most of all.

Very nice Mearl. A word of warning. Check over every inch of your sewn seams from CARS. My front seat started to rip out shortly after installation - probably less than 6 hours of sitting on it. They did fix it, but also lied to me about paying for shipping. Really a hassle dealing with CARSINC.

It's a 402 block with 68 325 horse 396 heads nad stock 350 horse cam. It has a cheap aluminum intake, 750 Holley and HEI with Hedman headers. I'll try to post a picture of the engine bay.

Sorry to say Don, but I have been neglecting my beer drinking duties somewhat, I just haven't had time to devote to doing it correctly.
