Hi everybody.Just joined and havent been able to check everything out yet.My first car was a 64 elcamino with 454 turbo 400 and 12 bolt posi when I was 17 and have been a chevelle guy ever since.Curently working on a 64 convertable ss that I traded a 65 elcamino for from a friend who bought the convertable from the guy I sold my first 64 to over 20 years ago.Small world.It was a pile of parts with the body mounted to the frame when I got it.I threw it together and installed the sb 400 that was int my 65.He didnt get the engin in the trade but I gave him a 383 I had laying around.I drove it for about 2 years and started the frame off resto about 8 years ago.Im hoping to get it back on the road soon.Here is some pics.

Welcome to the site, man!!!

That is a fine looking little project you have there. Nice combo too.


I should say, I'm a bit jealous that you have small block strokers just laying around to call "spare". :D

It was my first engin build for a 71 when I was 19.Had a lot of hard miles on it but still strong.
