I look forward to seeing it when all finished up! Coming together quite nicely! I really want to get a 28-32 two door sedan. Have to finish my '72 first
Yes I am, and getting ready to leave it to head overseas in a short while.

Nice Frank.......Hope to have one myself next spring.

Ft Campbell...remember it well. Watch your top knot wherever your destination is.

That's a great looking car, Frank. I'm jealous.

 

[dh66]

Looks great Frank. I know you are enjoying it!

 

[splintercellsz]

Comes nowhere near Frank's beauty, but here's mine again. Swapped the old edelbrock for a Holley 750. The 455 really opens up now, with no choking issues. Definitely worth the smiles per gallon.

 

[1mach1]

Yeah, I always preferred Holleys to Edelbrocks. Nice!

 

[splintercellsz]

I agree completely. The edel was pulling air not only from the top, but the bottom resulting in heavy bogging at 40 mph. Not fun at all

I guess that makes us even, right?

Thought I would share a few shots of the car to show you all how it is coming along.
Detailed the hell out of it and it keeps getting better and better.
Took it to church today what an uproar in the parking lot ,I had a hard time getting out of there as everybody was all over me about it.


Drivers side, inside shot.



Just replaced all the rubber pads on the foot controls and repainted the clutch ,brake floor bracket and new felt pad underneath that.



Also installed a rear window shade . I always thought it was for privacy but was informed it was for night time driving as all of the windows are flat and light reflects all over the place from headlights coming in thru the rear window so you use the shade for night driving .



Just a few shots of the car over all .

What a pippin!

Thank you much, Frank!! On another note, I couldn't resist

And the Holleys are more adjustable. Was the Edelbrock a 750 as well?

That they are. The edel was a 600 I do believe

It's interesting that you younger guys are referring to a type of carburetor as an "Edelbrock". I could be ambitious and look it up, but I'll be lazy and ask if the type you are referring to as an Edelbrock is what we of the older hot-rod era would call a Carter AFB?

Edelbrock is a brand name. Very similar to the Carter AFB. I am not a fan of Carter carbs, either.

Us 50s fans use the WCFB.
