The next new project

[Malcolm]

I know its been a while, Im settled into the new job, house ect. Now to try and get back to things.
The missus decided she wanted a real chev this time and face it, who am I to argue.


Just a couple of pickies of the new toy. This will be a long project

You should put FB/EK headlight peaks on it, just for shits and giggles .

[Malcolm]

Welcome back Mal,

That looks like a great start for a long project where did you find it ?

I still dont understand how people relate these cars to the FB/EK they are nothing alike !!!!!!!!!!!

Keep the build on this forum Im sure many people will enjoy what your doing.

I'm betting it's not going to be a Blown V6

Now that would be fun! Good to see all is well Malcolm.

Thanks guys, its great to be back.
The body on this old girl is totally stuffed, once I get rid of all the stuff that needs replacing Im planning on having left a firewall, roof and inner rear quaters. Everything else needs to be replaced. Full floor from bottom of firewall to boot, two rear quaters, inner and out sills rear parcel shelf boot lid and doors.
Am really looking forward to starting on this as it will be like starting form nothing.
Engine planned for this one is bigblock 454.

Will post pickies when progress starts if nobody minds.

Cheers Mal
