It will be a shame you have to put the body back on and cover up all that pretty paint but I know you must.

Yeah, I know, but hopefully the top side will look as good as the bottom side soon

Thanks Nancy.


Finally got the stainless fuel line put in this evening and loaded the body of the car on a trailer so I get clean the underside of it. I did so practicing with the welder this past weekend on some spare exhaust I had laying around, stuff I practiced on turned out good so I'm hoping it turns out well. Ran the motor some more this evening but I'm still having issues with the carb or something, it's not wanting to idle. (posted about it in another thread).

Here's the welds from this weekend


Here's the shinny new stainless fuel line.

Got the car running a whole lot better this evening. Used a different carb from a buddy of mine. I've rebuilt mine twice and it still hasn't fixed it, so it looks like I'm going to get another one. What's some suggestions for a good carb for a fairly mild street motor? I've always run edelbrock and it's what I'm used to but open to others like Demon, Holley, Proform, another edelbrock? Thinking I could get by with a 650 or would a 750 be better?

Here's a quick video of it running with just the headers.

Sounds good. My frame used to be all pretty like that before I put the body on and did bodywork a while. Now it is a dusty mess.
Carb choice is just that a choice. Get what you like. As for size it depends on how you drive it. If your a animal like me a 750 is better, more top end. But if you drive like a normal person a 650 is better. Less hesitation when you stab the gas, more responsive. That motor would like either one tho.

I've been working on getting the underneath of the body ready so I can put it on the chassis. The car has a factory? undercoating all over the whole underside and I'd like to get it off but it has been a huge PIA. I'm sure it's what has saved the floor pans from rusting out but it doesn't look good and I'm not planning on driving it inclimate weather so does anyone have a trick to getting this stuff off besides blasting it off? I've use wire wheel on a drill, twisted wire wheel on a grinder and scraping it off. The wire wheels just seem to smear it around. Some of it has flaked off but most of it is stuck like glue. I'm almost to the point of leaving it on there and painting over it since most people won't look under it anyway.
