Casey, take your time bro and it'll be done in due time. We've all been there. I used to have a 66 back in 2000. Sold it to get my Chevelle. By the way...love the avatar. "THE RENT'S TOO DAMN HIGH!!

So life has really gotten in the way of working on my car, I got it insured and licensed so its my 10 mpg daily driver now, i picked up a turbo 400 and am building a 600 hp 468, But she has her share of electrical gremlins and the occasional shakes and rattles but im sticking with the old gal.
she showed me she wore the pants when this happened at 70 mph
