    Or even the v6 or what about a 3.3 gm straight 6 I made 1 good one out of 2 engines for my viscount. The first block had a ticking sound it was a triangle hole in the 3rd cylinder?

Size:  75.2 KBso sept/oct/nov ,i was busy doing this dodge ram for my uncle, he started out repairing a few rust holes, year later i visited it was in a pile of bit's in the garden, so was now beyond his capability's, so i was drafted into help, worse bit's were the doors inner & outer had completely gone.... a lot of swearing on my part.. it was on an army base for a while colour green, then a fire truck at a race track, hence why it's red & light's /sticker's to go back on, not a show truck, but a solid work horse as he wanted...

    The grille is looking good - the test will be when people look at the finished car and can't quite place what looks different about it. The workshop is good too. Is that a big paint and body shop?
