Yup! thanks for sharing this. Speaking of bills, are those body guys family members with a lot of dirty carbs?

Budgets...<span style="font-style: italic">budgets</span>???...let's not talk about budgets right now. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

As far as the cast of characters;

Bodyguy #1 is a longtime friend of Bodyguy #2, and Bodyguy #2 is an older brother of one of my longtime friends. Bodyguy #2 also owns the killer green Challenger posted earlier in the thread. He and #1 did the restoration on it.

Just to break up the monotony of this thread a little bit;

My friend (mentioned above) and I built this Pro Street `67 Chevy II a while back; he did all the bodywork (natch) while I helped with the drivetrain and some of the fab work. His brother (mentioned above) squirted the color on it.







(don't ask me why he painted the engine yellow, I tried to talk him out of it lol)

Fully hand-built chassis/frame: 2X3 front rails with a Pinto cradle and rack&amp;pinion steering system, 2X4 rear rails with Alston ladder bars and coil-overs. The engine was a .060&quot; over 10-1 427: ported open chamber oval ports, Crane flat tappet cam, Weiand Team G intake, 1050 9375 Holley (prepped by yours truly), hand fabbed stainless 2 1/4&quot; headers (<span style="font-style: italic">way</span> too big for this engine, but a much larger engine was being planned for the car later and the notion of building 2 sets of headers wasn't too appealing), 400 turbo with a Coan 4000 converter, 9&quot; Ford with a locker and a 4.57 screw.

Yeah, it was quick. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Friend sold the car shortly after its completion (suffering from a <span style="font-style: italic">severe</span> case of project burn-out), went somewhere up to northern Ohio, then wound up in Florida where it was being listed for sale again on eBay.

No idea where it is now...kind'a miss that car.

Eric your 67 Is looking good. It brings back a lot of memories of the 67 Conv I did a couple years back. The color is very nice also. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
