Default My new Big Cat - 1960 Catalina

Finally brought our new project home. My boys have officially named it the Big Cat. Understandably so, it is as long as my 1995 K2500 Suburban.

It is an original 389 4bbl automatic car, has a few aftermarket parts on it like the Cragars, some Holley aluminum valve covers, converted to newer alternator, Edelbrock carb and a bunch of cheapo gauges along with a wood grain Grant wheel. It's like 70s street machine special. Paint sucks and has some body filler in it, but overall the car is super solid.

Got it home last night, put a new ignition switch on it and prepped some stuff under the hood and hit the key. Turned over but starter sounded like a box of rocks. After a few seconds the starter locked up. I have a new one on order and will be picking it up this afternoon.
