    I’m not sure how I am going to do this car. As a nice driver/show car. Or put the thing on a rotisserie and make it perfect.

    Thats what I am thinking. The trans I put in it is a C-6 with a SICK shift kit. More fun that a stick car I think. I want to drive this thing.

    go for it! sounds like the only way to go! I couldn't put that much work into a car and not drive it. Even with the 69, I love that paint and if anything scratched it.....lol, but I couldn't not drive it either! Of course I will probably not get to work on that one now anyway...grrr.....

    Here is some shots of the frame that came today. VERY solid. These frames are so much $$$$. This was a sick deal. $600. I got the frame, 390, 9"rear, and the full disk brake set up all delivered!
