I actually have 2 hoods hanging for storage under the garage door, the Z24 hood will hopefully be installed this year as I switch to BB, but may just detail under hood, and stay as a SS with a 427, as once I paint the hood, then I need to paint fenders to put proper badging, then the snowball effect falls in to “where do I stop! “ we all have been there and all have different budgets!
The hood it is a safe place to store it for now w/o getting damaged in limited space, the insert is restored and looks awesome, all it needs is for me to paint the blackouts, it’s my first BB. I believe I have 95% to do a recreation, but we all know how we think we have what’s needed! I’m sure there will some stuff I run into. I drive my car, so I don’t want to get carried away!
Motor is done and Dino’d, a 010 gear box from Ed Hartnett should be here any day, as I have a 65 Muncie box in there now, just want it to be esthetically correct, not perfect.
The hardest part is juggling stuff in garage! Like a chess game at times, but I have 3 motors to get rid of in that mess, and 2 transmissions..... a 66 396 w/ a T400, the 350 and 4 speed in my car, and the original 283 2bbl. With all its original stuff, brackets, air cleaner, tagged carb, etc.
Anyone else have shop pics?
Bill
