Thanks Blonde, It took me 13 months working just about everyday. In the end it was well worth all the work. I wish I still had all of them. Lots of good times and memoriesTalk about rebuild from the ground up....you did a fantastic job!
Just covers That was just a 454. I didn't have the blower motor ready and wanted to make a couple of shows. I ended up with the blown 454. It was small compared to the 572 I built for the black 64 nova. I did all my own motor work as well. We use to do the bush motors for some guy named Mark Martin
He was pretty good back then. One of my best friends worked at Sonny's Automotive and built some of the biggest mountain motors in the world. I got some good ideas from him.
Thanks Doug, We are both trying to get our backs well for now. My wife has 2 pinched nerves and one herniated disk. She is seeing a CP 3 days a week for now and cant hardly ride to work. I went today and had a CT Scan on my back but cant see the Dr until the 18th of next month. It sucks. I fear the whole summer will be gone before we get better. We would love to get back down to see you guys and take a ride in some of your cars. As far as the cars go, I never ran the blue 66. It turned out so nice I didn't want to tare it up. The black 63 ran mid 5's 1/8 mile with the small 509 motor but with the big 572 I could never get it to hook to really find out what it would do. It had ungodly power. I twisted the frame in the car. After I tried to run it a few times and could never hook it I just drove it around on the street and enjoyed all the looks and people wanting to look at my car. I sure miss those days. Hope to see you soon.
