Changing from factory PB to manual will cause some issues at the firewall too, I should mention. each has a slightly different mounting location. some threads on here somewhere we can find if you go that route, always helps knowing ahead of time. If I recall correctly, doesn't the MC pushrod connec...

Welcome aboard! :D Like Poboy said, if you're looking to make it a cruiser and close to original, you'll come out a lot cheaper sticking with the 6. A major conversion can be like pealing an onion. Hard to tell when/where to stop. Can't hurt to see if you can get the original engine to run. Won't co...

Welcome aboard! Great looking car and shop.

A coat of primer and paint would have been a good idea before bolting it all together.

It should be a 16 gal tank. Did you install the new tank? Was it the same shape as the original? Are the muffler inlet and outlet staggered from each other?

That is the ugliest dash I've ever seen!

Jim

Just wondering where you got the ends. I've mulled making linkage for mine using 3/16" heim joints and all thread.

Jim

It all looks great, Pat. Where did you get the end pieces for your linkage?

Welcome aboard!

Still too cold, or too rainy, or both to epoxy coat my floor, so I continue to "feather the nest", as my wife calls it, with stuff I won't have to haul back out when the weather permits me to coat the floor. Today I mounted a traffic signal that I've had stored in my basement for 20 to 25 years, won...

That is impressive, and looks great! Did you photoshop the pic of the finished car, or is that an existing car you're using as the inspiration for yours? If you photoshopped it, then I'm REALLY impressed.

Happy birthday, fryedaddy!
