I like the picture with you and your grandpops. Reminds me of my years with "pops" learing everything during a frame-off restore of a '57 Bel Air.

Very cooool project you've got going. ~Joshua

Sweeeet. I don't know what's more fun. Building a project car, or driving it. We all know it's fun to drive them, but building them is fun too. Probably the reason why we have these things apart so much....

Congrats man, looks like your doing an excellent job. Family is important, spending time learning from your grandpa shows character. Gotta keep some grey hair around or we'd all be lost!

Ah that brings back memories. I got my formula from sadisco a few years back and fixed it up. I want to get another one sometime soon, though it'll probably just be to part out.
Keep up the good work man.

You might want to call Lynn Hopkins. He has a f-body junk yard in bishopville, SC. He may or may not have one right now but I've bought a few parts from him before.
Here's his number: 803-424-2511
