I started my project with a 66 monza 140 that I bought for a dollar in 1998. 
I bought a parts car for $400.00 in 2000. Installed a 5.3 engine in 2005 out 
of a 2003 chev 1/2 ton with all the factory efi, (wish i had gone for a 
carb.it might be done by now!). Built all the adapters and such from bits 
and pieces of different vehicles. Currently it is a running chassis with all 
the final body work left 2 B done. I am currently looking 4 motivation 
(these E mails keep me interested, Thanx).
