67 Chevelle project Home Built

I guess I am far enough along to start my project post. This is our 67 Chevelle I picked up in Aug 2009 for $500.00. No motor or trans and it had been sitting for 15 years in northern California under a oak tree.

Have a th400 when I took it apart to rebuild it found the planetary gears had exploded. Called Jake's Performance Transmission and ordered all the goods to support the Big Block HP.
