Since there are some classic car fans on here I might as well post up my current project.
It's a 1965 Fairlane 500 with a 289 and 3 speed automatic. I bought it not running and have done all sorts of work to it. My cousin helped me get it running but we hit a wall when it started reading out 3 pounds of oil pressure at idle and constantly over heating. The block has been bored over .030, new pistons/rings, comp cams rv cam, upgraded water pump, oil pump, new radiator, rebuilt power steering pump, rebuilt heads, all new seals and gaskets and so and and so on. This was supposed to be a fun Side project since I have my 58 F100 to drive around when I'm not in my work truck but I'm having to do so much work to it that I am just planning to keep the car and sell the truck... Unless some one falls in love with the car first and makes me an offer on it.
Here are some pictures and I will update them as the car nears completion.
