Ongoing Maco Resto Pics

[MOTION1]

Thought you might find these interesting. Unfortunately, I probably will not have this car at SCR8 due to finding alot more required restoration than originally thought (surprise, surprise, surprise!).

[/ QUOTE ] Don't worry about that Dan. I'm sure the diehards like me saved 'em down to enlarge them later anyway. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Glad you had time to repost and describe them. You're right there is alot of bodywork needed.. Was it always "off" in those places on the panel fitment or did the years take it's tole on it somehow? Keep em coming. Got any shots of the mechanicals? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[MOTION1]

I would imagine the later. Remember this car sat in a carport type garage with trash stacked on it for over 20 years. Pretty amazing it is in as good a shape as it is.

The mechanicals are scattered at a few places now. The cool thing is we were able to find some original high compression LT1 parts, crank, pistions, rods, etc. (still in the GM packaging) to rebuild the engine. It will be sweet, and 360+ (cackle, cackle, cackle)! Will post some pictures soon.

[55chevy]

Al at ARC will be running on a dyno. Will post the numbers then.He found a NOS set of pink rods and an LT1 crank, the old stuff was beat. LT1 style pistons, roller rockers, more cam, 750 holly. should scream. TIM

Dont freak out too bad on the color, that is the way Joel installed it. The diff is the same. You have to remember this was a custom show car.
