Woodsman - thanks for the compliments. After the engine and some tweaking I plan to replace the quarters. Not sure why the previous owner rolled them so much - guess for clearance..... decent job but starting to bother me b/c it's not original. THe quarters on early Chevy II's are unique - distinct part of the car to me....

I was never going to say anything like that but I had my wife go look at this one an we both said the same thing. I know it takes time to do all things. And I love it 98% but when you get that done it will be 110%. And you are so right that early Chevy II's are unique that's why I love it. Hey can you put it in Show off so everbody can check it out.

Thanks again - I will post it up there and get everyone's opinion - good suggestion.

As far as the motor goes I am dead set on going the budget route - unless I find a great deal on a forged crank/ pistons. I have been looking around on here and eBay + a few other sites for race parts.

Problem is my wife will kill me if I spend much more - lol. Already have lost thousands - but learned a good life lesson. I will not get shafted again by a un honest seller or builder in this case.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

If you see my at Gateway Intl Raceway running 15 or 16's during test & tune in a orange, full tubbed Nova - then have a good laugh because I am still running the stock motor. You welcome to give me some sh&*.
However next summer I hope to be dishing it out......

Dam I feel for you man and anybody else losing hard earned money to some pathetic puke who prays on innocent people that $hit really makes my blood boil, I cant imagine how these low lifes sleep at night, only thing is that helps me deal with it is knowing that someday they'll have HELL to pay.
Also I can relate to the wifey thing too. my family comes first, but I want to race and build cars too. I drive an older ( paid for ) truck so I can put most of my money in my cars instead of a new truck or car w/notes which I will only LOSE money on the minute I drive it off the lot but then she still gripes when I buy something for a car(s) that will only APPRECIATE.
I've tried to explain this to her but she'll doesnt get it....lol
I swear it wasnt for my kids and that thing between her legs that I like so much I'd be gone and buy a chunk land in the country, build a 40 x 60 shop w/ apartment on top and spend all my money on my cars. Later, Charles
