Well Jeff, may not be in the cards this year sad to say. I may be getting some surgery in June and would be recuperating through the summer months. I was born with a leaky aortic valve, and up until now been fine, but will need a new one. If all goes well, the Velle, Steve and I will be in Columbus '17. The good news is that lovely orange '69 will have some miles on it before then! :D

Sorry to hear about the reason for the delay and I hope it goes well. You have to take care of our most important equipment, our bodies. I hope you get a lot done on the car before your surgery.

Thanks Wayne! It's not a surprise to me, been planning it for a couple of years now. Will keep the ball rolling on the car though - part of the rehab! :cool:

Unfortunately the LH8 known as the hot rod pan hangs below the cross member by 2.5-3 inches. Lowered car, not good! Sold it local and went with a Holley LS 302-1. Clears steering at full lock and almost flush with the cross member. Hope that helps...

Thanks Joe, that is very helpful! Keep up the good work!

I'll keep you in my prayers. My brother had one done 8 years ago at 40.

Is this the car you're thinking of my headers for?

Many thanks John! Yes pal, that would be me. I need the headers to run parallel on either side of the trans as is most common. From what I gather these are aligned to have the exhaust curl in/up under the trans, inside the tunnel as the Vette application requires. I've been wrong before though.:peepwall: They are an outstanding set of headers...

Nice transformation, love this body style.

I had a 72, 402, 4 speed Malbu when I was in the military, should have kept it.

Really like where this car is going. Looks like it's going to be really clean. Get well first so you can enjoy your toy later.
