For now, yes.  The 10-bolt that is in there will be rebuilt and filled with an e-locker and heavier axles.  Once I build my second motor, I'll be putting in a 9-inch in a fab-9 housing.

I should be working on the 'velle a bit more this week.  I'm going to be out at my dad's helpin' him out to change some of the tractor tires on his JD 8640 and will probably get the dash, exhaust, and gas tank out sometime before the end of the week.  I may start cutting into the firewall as well.  I'll be taking some detailed pictures.

kyle you may want to try to invest in coming to GM Nationals in Carlisle, PA over the summer...they have a TON of stuff for the car.  My dad got a ton of stuff for his from there.  If its not too far for you i would def. recommend trying to make the trip next year

Yeah, I'll be attempting to make it down to Carlisle next year.  The last time I tried though, I blew a transmission going through the Lehigh Valley tunnel, LOL...  I'll definitely be going to the Syracuse Nationals with my mom's cousin and his '66 Nova.

Nice '71 James!

No.  It isn't an SS.  Its a 0.030 over SB350 that I built when I was 15.  Dyno'd at 386hp/425ftlb so it's a stump pulling small block!  LOL

I'll be all over that once I get the Chevelle finished.  Right now it's difficult to just take off with my two sons (Kaleb 2.5 years & Gavin 4 months).  That's what is keeping me from really digging into my Chevelle.  Their too darn fun to play with right now!

No, they are Torque Thrust II by American Racing.  One off on the back-only set like em.  The available sizes/offsets just weren't right so I called AR and they were REAL helpful in making a set.  Wanted as much wheel as I could get away with without cutting the car.  Turned out good, but obscene $$$.

My father-in-law is always at Syracuse with his Merc....look for the flat black 49 with red Von Dutch style pinstripes.

Sad to say...  No.  I've been saving up for the big dollar items.  Between the new full floor pan and the new trunk floor, I'm looking at almost $2k!  I want to get that on before I put it onto the rotisserie. 

I just haven't had the time recently to get down to continue work on it.
