Right on! I live by BC, work here in Bakersfield, and nearly ready to drive my '72 here in Bako!!

 
That's cool. I work at Chevron Kern River just down the bluff from the college but live on the south west side of town. I frequent Sonic a lot on Friday nights where when the weather is good all the toys in town seem to stroll through there in case you were not aware, this is the Sonic on Olive Dr. Maybe well run into each other sooner or later.

Hi everybody!

My name is Dale, I'm a dad with 5 great kids, I live in Bakersfield, CA. Famoso is my home track, hope to drive my '72 Grande' soon. It's been sitting since '04, when I noticed water in the oil... ugggh! So I used that as an excuse to build my dream motor: 351c remanufactured block from PAW, ported and polished aussie heads and roller cam kit from Powerheads. Ross forged 9.5/1 pistons, milodon camgear drive, weiand single plane topped with a Demon 750, MSD ignition... etc. When I went to install the motor I couldn't get it to fit. So it sat for years. Last year, it turns out the motor mount was 'off' by a little bit. Needless to say, I have been busting my butt to get the motor running... Lots of work to get it driveable, but that won't be long now. Time has taken it's toll on the car, too. These pictures were taken yesterday!!

Dale:cool:
