I think you made a good choice by going with a Beaumont. Pictures would be good and a happy story would help too. That last one bummed me out. cry

I have already showed pics of frame in progress, but here is the body
with frame stored under it for winter.

This is not the correct shade of paint, Notice the yellow bumper on saw
horse, thats for wife when parking, she always opens the door on that
and bangs up here car. Grand kids wrote Fix me on window ,Har, Har.

A little cancer to deal with on quarters

This already posted. This summer hope to finish rear end and plumb
brake lines ,fuel lines,back brakes, and who knows maybe a motor,
got my buddy looking for a good 350 block, I have a 400 small block
but my son wants it for his 67 camaro we are restoring. Was thinking
about my 400 pontiac block I have, but I think I want to keep it all
Canadian. You can just see the 400 Pontiac motor mounts on the frame
I already had the Pontiac mounted, fits OK, but don't no, just not
Canadian.

hey fred (68sd)you think saw horses like that will hold the wagon up like that?

WHAT DO YOU THINK A WAGON BODY WEIGHS?

Beaumont4008 · Uber Guru

The body has been on those saw horses for about seven years . Everthing is bolted together not nailed. Before I had them my boy had
a 80's blazer on them. I had to turn one of the legs around so I could get
the frame underneath. Car is full of parts including trunk. Wife has hit it a few times. still standing.

Nothing wrong with a 307, Its a stroked 283 with a 327 crank. I'd rather have a 307 than the newer 305 block anyday.

cool way of looking at it,might keep it now ,cash flow is low,might just put a better cam in it ,i hear they are junk?

I got the lighter green on the interior also, you can see from these pics the
code 59 as my latest GM info pacs calls it Limelight green.

You can just see the buckets I got out of a 69 B body car, Gm tag on them say for A and B body cars, Will have to be recovered .

You can realy see the differance in this pic.

cool 69 · Addicted!

That's a nice garage you got there Fred and if you decide to change that cam in the 307 you might want to think about taking that to barrel carb and intake and throw it in the lake! LOL

68sd · Canadian Poncho Superstar!
