    yeah i did all the work my self and, this weekend im planning on putting another coat of primer on, then getting it painted turquoise.Then im moving on to the interior, new headliner, carpet, and all vinyl except the seats. And when i got it, it had the stock 2bbl on the 10.5 compression ratio 389. I bought a edelbrock intake and holly carb, with a mild cam, and double roller timing chain. soon its getting a new forged crank to make it a 440 stroker.:yahoo:

    Very nice work young man. Can I bring mine over?:rofl2: With a Pontiac you have to start young. That way it'll be finished by the time you are 30! :rofl2:

    No, really, very nice job. With all your own labor you'll be proud of yourself and own it for years. But us old codgers remember $0.25 gasoline.
