HA...I know that warm feeling of getting your car back home! Just brought my 'Guna home last week.

Looks like you have a pretty nice sized garage... I'm jealous. Razz

Just stopping by to say hello. It's been a while since I've been here. Work is super busy. We're still settling in to the new house. Wife has constant projects for me. And my kids are getting big quick.

I had a 56 belair come into my life that I couldn't pass up. I'm planning on turning it into a sixties style straight axle gasser.

BUT... I promised myself I'd get Ethel roadworthy before I start that project.

First on the Ethel list is a torque converter. For some reason I put a 3000 stall in it years ago. It's a pain in the A$$ to move around in the driveway with that. My car was originally a straight 6. What tranny did my car come with? (1975) I now have a stock 305 out of a mid 80s blazer, attached to the original trans.

I agree. Big blocks get the turbo 400.

Trying to stick to that plan. A buddy of mine got me a great deal on a torque converter today. I also need to remount the swivel seats. It was originally a bench seat and the buckets are to close to the steering wheel.

I'm putting together a temporary garage out back for the 56. Out of site out of mind. Ethel owns the garage. Even my bike is stored elsewhere.

Good to "see" you again. Life can get very busy....
