Thanks to a friend, Martin Wimberly I was able to get this picture of my bee circa 1971 when the car was still owned by the original owner.
Thanks, Matt

Thats kind of cool being able to see it back in its hay day Matt, Makes it more interesting and a little more motivation to have building it back. Thanks for the picture!

I have not posted on this in a while, but have been working on it when I can. Just trying to pretty it up a little. Been working mostly on the engine replacing belts,hoses, and fluids.
Rebuilt the carbs along with installing the correct jets and rods. Set the valves and put some valve cover gaskets on. Also pulled the exhaust manifolds to replace those gaskets.
Just thought i would post a picture of the engine now and a picture of it with a set of center lines I had in the shop on it. I just set it down off the lift to get an idea of what it looks like so its not the best picture. I like them better than the blue police wheels even though they are not my favorite wheels.

I think it looks great Matt, Your Centerlines look like there in much better shape then mine. Very good looking ride and a Hemi!

Boy I'd have a tough time even putting a hood on my car if I had a Hemi, really nice!
