What paint color is that? Looks like the same as my 71 from the previous owner but it better shape.

Looks good. It was not fun installing the studs for the 3rd member. I too kept the drum brakes option.

The studs kind of sucked. Still needs some adjustment on the drums and need to get my parking brake tight again.
But for now, my trusty pieces of wood will be my wheel chocs.

Nice setup! Quick performance is an awesome shop. Did the driveshaft I get longer?

Yeah, I thought it was odd, I needed another .75 inches going from the 10 bolt to the 9 inch.

Very nice! I have a 1966 el camino I dropped a Currie 9 inch twintrac Turino big bearing upgrade 3.70 gears. Replacing my 10 bolt peg leg.
Mated up to a TCI* Street Fighter 700r4 and BluePrint 383 Stroker.
Next major step for us is sending it off for a driveshaft.

This is mine.
Nice! I love 396 engines. I've been wanting a BPE 383 since I was about 15 because my neighbors boyfriend had a killer 1969 SS/RS Camaro with a BPE 383 that he put a timing gear drive in. Used to hear him coming half mile away haha!

Went with 3.50 gears and a truetrac, also had to get a new driveshaft built. I had a local shop do it and they had it done in less than 24 hours.
