Well, I got the '67 on the road--still needs some body and paint work, but I can finish that up later.

I did have a little issue with the flywheel coming loose--luckily it didn't do any damage. A couple hours of work and it was running again.

Needs to be tuned--and a decent muffler (the stinger is just too loud). I also keep knocking the header off the J-tubes when it scrapes on my driveway. No doubt it has something to do with the front end being so high--afraid to drive it, I might get a nose bleed!!!

I've got a set of drop spindles on order now--might be low enough (2 1/2" drop) but if not, then I'll weld in some adjusters.

So far, I've been pretty happy with this car... my first "sedan" I've driven (my other driver's have been bajas).

I'll post more pics as it comes along.

Got our first snow today--seemed like a good reason to take a pic!

Nice pic of the snow. I live in Minnesota and have a 67 project also. We only got a dusting with flurries all day. It sure got cold quick didnt it...80 last Saturday, and 36 for high today. Got a love the midwest.

Later- Kel

hehe I love it here, too. I only wish I'd taken less time installing my stereo and more time on the gas heater! BRRRRRR!!!

Got any pics of your project?

That motor didn't last long--too much bearing clearance on the rods. After running it with a donor motor for a little while, I decided to put my T4 in it:

...its the funnest thing I've ever driven!!

Maybe. If you don't want to leave SD then here are some unfiltered listings.

If you want to go civil service, take anything you can get, once "inside" more jobs open up to you. Don't be proud or too honest.
Let me know if you are willing to relocate to California.
