The Decision

So after much research, lots of discovery followed by further head scratching and then even more research I am now the owner of Eleanor! She came up on a well known auction site as a part built rolling chassis that the orignal owner had decided was now not what he wanted - apparently he preferred to tinker with classic cars..... Anyway his loss and my gain and I duly hired a trailer and went to pick her up...

Absolutely chuffed to bits! Also as part of the deal a vast array of parts had already been purchased for her. This is what came with the car:

Alloy engine bay
Chevy 350 Small block and Tremec 5 Speed Trans with most of the chrome bits i need and some tuning parts (all brand new!)- Edelbrock RPM package alloy heads, RPM camshaft and hydraulic
lifters, Edelbrock 600CFM Carb.
Front and rear bumpers with overriders,
All lights bar one indicator?
Windscreen and finishers
Doors, Bonnet and boot
Door hinges
Fuel tank
Pedal box
Hood bars and catches etc
Steering column and switches,
Dax side vents
Roll Hoops
And the list goes on!

I've decided to have a go at this blogging malarkey on the basis that their are only a few out there but they have really helped my build so far so I want to add someone to the knowledge base - little as that may be! On the basis of simplicity I'm going to keep it to minimal explanation as I'm sure if you're reading this you're probably in the process of looking to build a beast yourself and will already have some idea. Also I'm doing the first few posts retrospectively so will let you know when the timings are current as it were. Thanks for reading!
