The Beginning

I'm porting my blog from a automotive forum. Here is the history of my project thus far. I will be regularly updating my blog here in the future.

Well, I'll expand on this a bit later.

When I first bought the car for $700 its wasn't running, but had a factory rebuilt l28 with 5k miles on it. A couple of electrical issues and it was running:

I then proceeded to rearend a new dodge durango going 5mph:




After getting ahold of Ron Tyler and BRAAAP, I had a new hood for $25. Painted it flat black and this is how she looks today:



I haven't driven the car since July of 2006. I finally have the money again to drive and pay for my other expenses. Its time to take care of some maintenance to make her reliable for daily use. I just brought the car over to my current house so I can work on it over the next month. Its not the most amazing thing yet, but atleast this will document the progress I make.
