2010!!!

Well, as you can see, I don't frequent this blog as I should. I am sure there are others who can maybe use my experience with building up an old Chevy Fleetline. I am in the process of re-organizing my garage to better suit the needs of the restoration - and to start and finish "Honey-Do" Projects!

For the past 22-months, I have been going through such an ordeal that I couldn't even make it up! Nevertheless, this car project was started and must be completed. I promised my wife a ride in it and plan to take her downtown San Diego for Salsa Dancing.

At this point, the primary work is in the suspension. I need to establish a good foundation for the car to receive the engine and hydraulics. I have been debating about going with the 350cui V-8 Chevy engine or sticking with the old school Inline 235 engine. At this point, I am going with the V-8 because I have already welded the motor mounts and the automatic transmission cross member.

In the future, I would like to use the Inline 6 and go with a stock look for a future car. I will be posting images soon describing what I started with and where I am at now. Until next time!
