All dressed up and no way to go
Sunday, August 10, 2008 7:36 AM
Just got it back on the road after painting and putting on a new top, and was driving to a car show when the engine seized. Dropped a rod!!! I was planning on doing a complete rebuid this winter anyway, it would have been nice to have a little more drive time this summer though!!

That kinda does suck.Nice car at least once u do the rebuild it will def be cherry.I myself am still messing around with mine,not done.I just have been so busy doing everything else lately.I figure two hrs I would be done at least to get it running then flush the cooling system.So then I can finally start to install my new axles.

Too bad. Your car looks good and would look better running or with a Chevy pickup towing it.

That Sux.

I can totally relate though. That is how my first engine went...

That car looks awesome. Reminds me of mine when I bought it.

I love the six light (SE) front ends. They are awesome.

Your car is sweet - best of luck with the rebuild.
