New Pictures! Looks Good Eh Bandit? =]

Where does the time Go??

It seemed like just yesterday i was still putting the engine, transmission, tires, brakes, driveshaft, fenders, ETC, on my car. Since then i have been SUPER busy! graduated high school, have my car back together, passed emissions a week ago, goin to Glendale Community College, working...you get the picture. Its a bit of an eye opener to realize how hard it actually is trying to have fun with everything else in the way. I thankfully got to take my car up to Prescott for a car show(which is a good 150miles away. And when i got there it had been rained out!) and also my first car show close to home. Thats a whole other exciting story there=] Long story short i got compliments, a dash plaque, and won a raffle!

Newest updates on 'Ol Betsy

The front clip an fenders finaly were bondo filled an smoothed out and ready to be put on. here the fenders are on and the front clip is about to go on.

Here is what all the hard work was for.=) <---thats all i can say bout that


There i am putting the bolts into the fascia and through the fenders

Its super close now.. next is the hood an exhaust=)

Finally in and hey..it runs

After about 10 months the old engine turned out to be a 305 and had both of the heads cracked. we got a 4bolt main 350 and added goodies to it. after alot of junk an mess ups its in the car now. the first time it was fired up tho many wires caught on fire from the hooker headers an there were alot of oil leaks. now that most of those are fixed the engine is pretty strong sounding. although we need to tighten 2lifters an get some new spark plug cables an a new battery. then it will be ready to be completed! im very excited to see what an engine with good compression feels like.
