Holy crap thats awesome. Definitely clean interior, and I LOVE the tubing for your sbc. I'm gonna copy that, gorgeous. I love those rockers too, I've been considering getting those since I got the car, and havent build up the cash so, this picture definitely motivates me.

Nice job, modern interior, good looking wheels and well done. You might want to consider upgrading to EFI down the road as carbureted small blocks are notoriously hard on gasoline. A guy in my club runs one and gets about 14 MPG. You probably didn't build this car for mileage but it doesn't help to have it. Enjoy your ride and welcome to the addiction.

Once i get it on the road i will see what i get for mileage,I went with the carb becouse the wiring in the car was shot and i had to make my own harness it was just easy to go with the carb.Its not my everyday driver just my toy for nice days and cruise in/local shows.Maybe in the future i will go with efi its been a long road and im just ready to start enjoying the car.

I hope its done,lol I replaced everything you could on the car even if it was still good.I never drove the car when i got it it did not run and had been sitting.The last time this car seen the road was 2000 that's when the last state inspection was.I took every part i could off and bought everthing new.My plan was to to it once and then just have regular service's to do.
I have been driving my Carb V8 and you don't build these cars if you are worried about gas prices. I don't like filling up so often but the smile I get when everyone looks at my car when I pull in an leave is great.

Just an awesome looking car. I am sure that it runs like the wind also. I personally love the rockers. That is what I am going for one day. Very nice car GTCONVERSION. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished.
