Hey K, take a close look @ this '57 Chebby w ALL Pontiac running gear including 8-lugs



Description

QUOTE from ratfunkracing
My current project in 1981. My grandfather worked for Boomershine Pontiac in Atlanta for nearly 50 years. My father worked there for 26 years. We had a lot of Pontiacs.

This was my father's daily driver for many years, then my brother got it and painted it.

It had a '70 455, TH400, '57 Pontiac rear end, 8 lug wheels and a Hurst dual gate from a GTO.

Wow. That was unexpected...

I suspect the fact that he worked at Boomershine had something to do with that (not only from a familiarity standpoint but also part "availability").

Anybody know the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral?

One less drunk at the funeral!

Heres two pushrods I pulled out of a 400 I tore down recently. The twisted up one was on the intake side. The snapped in half one was found in the oil pan, and the other half was in the valley.

Sweet ... it's a "MARX" ...whatever that is

I know a guy that just paid $2000 for an oil can ... so I never question people's hobbies or interests.
