how I spent my spring vacation |
Subject: how I spent my spring vacation by CorvetteBob on 2009/5/25 5:48:07 Hi Guys, I've been away for awhile and I was looking over some of the stuff going on around here. Pretty cool. One of the last posts I did was about a lifelong friend that had past away suddenly. I'm still dealing with that loss. Over the years that Scott and I were friends, we did a lot of automotive work. Part of that was on his '68 Chevelle SS396. Recently, I was able to secure that Chevelle to keep it from rotting in a field or being stripped to the frame, as his home was in the weeks following his death. They're not too good, but I thought I'd share a few pics with you guys. FWIW, this is a true "138" SS396. One of those that originally came with a bench seat, and a column shifted powerglide trans. The only power option it came with is power steering. It has manual 4-wheel drum brakes. I think that this car was a real stripper when it was built, which, oddly makes it rare today. Anyway, here are some pics... |
