off topic: my next project
Here is my next project to start this winter. It is my brother's 1960 olds 2 door hard top. We are going to rebuild the engine and trans and paint the car. I don't know if we are going stock or with a 60s custom paintjob. It has either a 371 or 394 in it. I can't tell which until I pull a head and measure the bore. If it's a 371, we're turning it into a 394. The 1960 394 had around 10.25:1 compression. This car has the 4 speed automatic transmission. The picture shows stock 14 inch wheels with hubcaps, but it now has 15 inch supremes with whitewalls. This thing is really nice to ride in.
I am finishing up my truck right now. I have been driving this one for almost 11 years and it finally looks nice!

The olds looks good because someone painted it before my brother bought it. Up close it's not too hot. Very sloppy work. The body is really solid, though. I may have to make a patch here and there. My truck is basically done, I just have a few interior pieces to put on and I am going to spray a liner in the bed.
