Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration

Engine is at the machine shop, trans should be done with rebuild today. Will likely build 350 into a 383, plan on keeping the stock heads but will go with 2.02 valves, roller tipped rockers to help it breath better. Engine will look stock, no place for shiny stuff in this build!

Also straightened out the stock trim and polished. What a chore. Instead of painting the black, I had my local sign guy cut satin black car wrap material into strips. Worked great. $80 in wrap material, we'll see how it holds up.

And had original white wheels blasted, sitting in primer right now waiting for paint and those pretty hubcaps
