Yay!

Does the interior still look like hell, or has progress been made on it? (I think the pics on your site are a year old...)

Anyways, great job! Doesn't it have a Chevy crate engine in it or something?

I wish I could fix our old '74 Dodge D200, but sadly I haven't got the time or money. Maybe someday... It's not like it's going anywhere anytime soon. (It makes a great stump puller/dumpster on wheels/yard toy/aluminum crusher

) Needs a driver's side floor and about $800 worth of parts to make it streetable, and even then it's not safe at all... [/off topic]

the interior is currently nonexistant lol, seat will be recovered and carpet put in but at the moment its basically all bare metal lol. the engine is a 350 cubic inch small block chevy engine and according to the casting numbers its probably out of a 69chevy pickup, as soon as we get it out of the garage and cleaned up ill take new pics and update the olds section, on the interior the dash has been freshly painted and the front windowsills too, its lookin pretty hawt lol, the floor is now mostly devoid of holes and rust so yay!

i will definatly have it out and driving this month so look forward to updated, the engine runs stroung and wonderfully loud as you will hear on the video that im gonna upload whenever my neighbor gets back

I love old cars and yours is an awesome one. I remember looking at the pictures on your site a while back and you have made progress. As for my car that was a '76 Ford Maverick well my father got in a four car wreck and totalled it the day before I turned 15

.

Regards and keep up the good work.

if anything I could say that this cab was rare. But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air. I pulled up to a house about seven or eight. And I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later. Looked at my kingdom I was finally there. To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air.

Sorry, I had to finish it.
