Joselk1 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Dropped my gas tank yesterday and discovered the build sheet. Had to use a very soft makeup brush to get the 50 years of grime off but I can read it. It’s everything as expected now I have the paper proof. Without the help of this group I don’t think I would have noticed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overdrive Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Congratulations on your great find! Your SS was not only built in California, it was ordered by a customer at a California dealership. Dan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Congratulations on the find. Now comes the fun decision. Do you restore it to original or build what you want?? It’s a tough decision when you have paperwork in your hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a tough decision when you have paperwork in your hand. It’s original except for transmission. I’m restoring it now but putting in 700r4 for drivability. I pulled the original 454 in December and it was rebuilt, we just ran it on a test stand Friday. All new internals and balanced with original heads cleaned up. I have the original intake and Quadrajet restored. Should be back on the road in 6 weeks and fingers crossed it will be spring in Michigan 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montemedic Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Take a bunch of detailed photos of your build sheet and put them away with your title for safe keeping. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
