Lots of other pics in my sig.



Year:1971

Model:original 307 car

Body/Exterior:05 Nissan blue

Front End:350 4 bolt, some add-ons but nothing crazy- plans for LS1

Transmission:Saginaw 4 spd - plans for 6spd to match LS1

Rear End:stocker-needs a posi SOON

Exhaust:needs to be redone

Wheels/Tires:17" Coys, 235/45/17 on 7" with 4 1/2" BS and 255/45/17 on 8" with 4 1/2" BS (5" would have been better for the rear)

Interior:stock blue with bench, soon to be black with buckets

Electrical:stock

Accessories/Options:2 seats and 4 wheels

Sound system:350 4 bolt

Comments: I finally got it on the road last summer after 12 years of sitting around and 2 years of resto. Plans are to redo the interior in black with factory style buckets, rebuild/add posi to the rearend and do a LS1/2 style with 6spd engine/tranny swap.

2 little boys under the age of 3 and a stay-at-home wife have put things on hold for now but at least I can take the family out in it for rides.

Hey Craig, long time no chat! I have not spent much time on Steve's over the last couple of months as I have alot of stuff going on. You will have to drop me a line and get me up to date on your progress as of late.

I hear ya! It's cars like these that just make me want to do a 3rd Gen Pro-Tourer! Cool thing is I can use all the 2nd gen camaro upgrade parts to do it!

Great Job!

Thanks for the complements!! It means alot coming from the guru's on here because I can honestly say my car would not look like that if it was not for this site. I have had lots of questions (mostly dumb ones) and gotten tones of answers!

Thanks again
