The engine has been bored .030 with torque plates, TRW forged pistons, balanced, Comp. Cam Extreme Energy 262, Heads have been ported @ flow Int. 248 & Exh 197 ( head completed at Sd Performance) , trany rebuilt at Accutran Transmission with at shift kit and a 2300 stall converter.

The body is all ready to be paint when I have time. >:( >:(
I am still trying to have it completed this summer.

If the frame is anything to compare this car's going to look GREAT Gary! I look forward to seeing it completed, but somehow I bet not as much as you.

Lets throw some milk crates in her and go for a spin! * *;D

It'll be nice to have another Oly Legend Member to cruise with! Dont forget to call if you need any help..

[goatweed]

I can't wait until I can take it for a spin, or hear it run :D

it has been way too long, I haven't drove it since 1990....

[LonnieS]

Well, it's over due, Gary! ;D It will be all the more sweeter when it's ready.

Outstanding... I will be pulling my 67 body off the frame over 4th weekend (at least thats how it is planned right now). Where did you have the powder coating done? I am still up in the air as whether to powder coat or POR15. Decisions... Decisions... Decisions... ;)

Looks great....I hand it to you official wrench cranking guys, you can do just about anything.

[goatweed]

I had it powder coated down here in Olympia, I prefer the powder coating over POR 15. The only thing about powder coating is everything has to be removed of the frame and suspension parts, because they bake it on at 400 degs.
It only cost me around 300.00 to have the frame and suspension parts sand blasted and powder coated.
I also had them sand blast and powder coat my radiator support and inner fenders.

I painted it last wednesday plus painted the dash. There is a new windshield installed.

I will be joining the frame this weekend and than starting to put the dash and wiring in, but it has been all hacked up.

[canonbkr]

Looking mightly good for sure!!! Did you shoot it yourself? Hope mine will look half as good!

[goatweed]

Yes, I shot it in PPG base coat and a high solids clear with a HVLP SATA paint gun.

Here is a update, Kevin D. came over on sat. and help put the body back on the frame. It is nice to have it mounted down for the last time, now I am starting to install the insides.

[goatweed]

here is a picture outside with the body on the frame ;D ;D

Sweet 8). How long have you been working on it?

[goatweed]

I have been working on it annd a Boss 302 for a little over a year and halve. I finished the Boss last summer and now working just on mine.

I brought the car in 1988 in Anchorage Ak. but did not do anything to till now.

Here is a picture on the Boss.
