another new guy from ga
just bought my 1980, with 383 stroker at around 450 hp with 4 speed auto. car had a complete off frame restoration in 1990 and has 2500 miles since then. thanks brother in law. i bought this to give to my son when he turns 16, i had a chevelle ss396 when i was 16 in 1973.
already repaired steering with help from this site. rag joint was worn and ordered from ecklers and 52.00 and 2 hours later, it drives like a new one.
and think i had an estimate of 1900.00 to repair front end. thanks to a thread here , i saved 1848.00 , who do i send the check to???
