Hey all yall out there. this is my cruiser that im restoring. I'll post some pics of what i have done so far. comments and advice are welcomned. This cruiser will have a v8 in it ( havnt decided what yet), th350 and original t-case. If anyone has a recomendation of what engine i should put in that will mate to a th350, please tell me. As of now everything is taken apart. I have a friend that does power coating and he is doing mine for free, so half my cruiser is over there right now. i have gone through t-case and im starting the tranny. Take a look at the pics.

Gotta talk a little smack from time to time to keep this board alive :flipoff2: . Get's boring otherwise. Thanks for the carb, Georg. Only wish I could have thanked you in person. Hope to have it rebuilt and slammed in soon. Maybe the 45 run following Phil...? Thanks Again!!!

PM me your mailing address. :D
