Its great that your Dad and brother are part of the project, and very cool that your Dad raced NHRA funny cars! You definitely need to start a build thread and post up some old pics of him racing.
My Dad was also a huge inspiration and raced SCCA in the 60s and 70s
Love the plans for your car and the 461 stroker was my other option before I was pulled in by the LS side.
Sounds like you have a bunch done already on the body restoration.

You were just down the road when you lived in Wellesley, stop in if you get back to the area.



Before you get started on painting your frame I would recommend the frame boxing kit from ABC Performance while it is nice and clean after sandblasting.

Thanks for the link, I really like the dimpled version of the kit. Funny how Ames sells their transmission cross-member cheaper than they do directly, including shipping from further away. Going to give them a call on Monday and see if they will let me use my commercial FedEx account to save some money. It's large pieces of metal needless to say, but still...
