Well easy come easy go. The Ego Crusher 383 in on the floor.

Pulled it with the four speed still hooked up, I don't recommend this. I won't do it again. To much trouble, I could have taken four bolts out and been cool. It wasn't difficult and didn't take long but the angle I had to put it at was almost vertical.

You did it without pulling the front clip? Isn't that a cakewalk to pull off with a couple guys? I'm seriously hoping to put my engine and trans in at once then assembling the font sheet metal.

No clip on it. I took the fenders off a couple weeks ago to start blasting. It rains every weekend now so I haven't been able to blast. I did get 5 bags of sand this morning as my plan was to have the shell in primer this weekend.

The rain sucks. I took my boys to see the Top Fuel guys run at US 131 MSP and it pored for 3hrs before they called it. I spent 25 on a ticket to go for a walk around the pits, then another 25 for lunch. I was smokin hot. Oh yeah I drove and hout on 4.25 a gallon gas to get there.-- Done ranting.

Thanks James, I'm almost as proud as the day my boys were born. Its gonna be the most power full one I've built so far. aprox. 450-475HP and at least 400ft lbs. I hope!

That's the first shortened car I like the looks of! I've seen a ton of Tri 5 Chevys done, and hated them all, but the Chevelle actually looks good!

I dig it too. Sounds mean but he doesn't get on it. His 55 is the same way, all bark and no bite.

That Chevelle looked really cool. Saved the pic to show my FIL, Being a bodyman, maybe he will make one.
