I am currently saving up for a house purchase next year(Kootenay region of BC north of Spokane), therefore I am trying NOT to spend money. Hence the use of the drum brakes for now. I might just install my trusty old 402 BBC instead of building the 427, until I'm 'over the hump'

Yes, I'm currently working on getting the interior, door jambs, & insides of the bolt on pieces into primer & paint. But it's slow going as usual, now it is really cold & I do not have a well insulated or even drywalled shop. I might have to shut it down for awhile... Yes Ryan, those are drums.
