Thanks man! It was a lot of fun to restore. Now I need to find something else, hopefully LS this time. I really hate carburetors! lol

I hear what you're saying about carbs, having 3 of them doesn't help. I have been through the ringer with jets, pump shots, air bleeds, secondary springs and tuning 2 and 4 corner idle on quadrajets, holleys and edelbrocks over the years and dont look back with rose colored glasses on the process now that i have an LS in my life.

Wow. Why did you sell it? All that work and you didn't get to really enjoy it.

I actually bought it to flip. I enjoy working on cars and it keeps me busy and out of trouble on the weekends. I still have my 64 Chevelle to enjoy.

That looks like a thorough restoration. You can make money flipping something like that, especially with a non-numbers matching drivetrain?

I'm guessing you do your own body and paint work? I didn't read through the whole thread.

Oh yeah, top to bottom everything replaced or rebuilt. I do everything myself so it saves a ton there. I made just over 18k profit on this restoration, but that's without all my time of course so it probably breaks down to $10 an hour if I figured my time. LOL
