new guy...70 LeMans project

[car_guy]

Hey, Im Aaron from the great white north... Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I've been lurking on here a while, and now its time to actually say hello, and introduce my project. Im building a 70 LeMans to haul the family around to shows, and just cruise during the couple of decent months we actually get up here. Plans are to go more resto-mod then all out kick ass pro-tour, budget permitting. That being said the car will be lsx powered (steel LS1), lowered on 18's (one day...), but most importantly just a capable driver. Im looking forward to meeting and interacting with fellow members, and start a build thread somewhere in the near future (just in the tear down stages right now). Here are a few pics of my poncho, in breif order from barn find last fall, to bring home clean up, to tear down, and lastly my daughter helping cam swap the 5.3L until we changed our mind and decided to machine the block for ls1 rotating assembly.

Aaron,



Great shots of the car sitting there tucked away from the world! That is a great project that you are lucky to be able to share with your little girl! Nothing better than combining your hobbies, passions and family to make great memories!!!


Good luck and keep the pictures coming!
