Default New member... Big project!

Hi guys,

I'm an Australian, who is based in the UK (on vacation in California this very minute)

I've just bought a big block 68 vette project car, which will be sailing it's way back to the u.k in a few weeks..

It's been hacked about a fair bit.. Original 4 speed/big block diff, but now running a mild ls6 454.

The original pop up lights have been swapped out for 80s night rider style, and the body is pretty rough and is currently flat black.. Interior is also less than ideal..

Plan to restore the car to look original on the outside/interior, but keep the 454, which pulls like a train.

Nice to meet you all!

Dave
