The 406 is done, Mike Lewis did the parts list, Mark Jones built, and checked everything. Mike had a long lead time, so Mark was willing to put me in line. It came out great. Mark Witener did the billet HP1000, but MJ did not have smaller BLP jets to lean it out more. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jW6Dmgbl.j...

(Preview)
Went and looked at this 67 Nova today and had to have it. Was repainted in 2008 in original granada gold. The 6 cylinder engine was then pulled for an engine bay detail and sat since.

Having a bit of buyers remorse at moment but picked up this pile for $5k today. Its a lot but original short beds seem to bring a lot of money. The white one I flipped in December was barely running and driving and was $7k. This has a 305 that has a spun bearing apparently. Will be buying the 305 good wren...

I haven't been contributing much to the site lately... It's time for me to improve the handling and drivability of the 55. I only drove it 2-3 times this year and it's a waste, could be a really cool and fun car. The car has multiple issues that make it slightly unsafe and not fun to drive. It handles lik...
