A site would be good.. something small and simple just to document things.  Good luck with it

Ill probably do that soon. We have both been so busy with the summer we havent gotten much more done on it. The floors are almost out now. Hopefully within the month the new ones will be in. Then it will be time to start on the bodywork.

Every little bit of progress is a good thing.  Plus, taking a break will keep the frustration level down, hopefully.

Gotta enjoy it

Last night we picked up a 400 for it. It has a car, intake, roller rockers, and long tube headers. We tried to use the numbers on it to get more info but it was getting to late last night. We are going to clean it up probably one day this week or next. Ill get some pictures of it when we do.

Awesome Mike.  Cant wait to see and hear more about the progress

Well we finally have some big updates on the car. We have spent a ton of time working on it the past few weeks.

Here are a few pics of the new motor. It has since been sandblasted and primed. We haven't painted it yet though.







The floors and trunk are also in. Here are some pics of the floors in. They still are going to be cleaned up, We just havent gotten to that yet.

We got the new stainless gas tank, straps, and sending unit and are going to be putting them in soon. The Floors and trunk are completely in cleaned up and painted. The entire undercarriage has also been painted. The rear end is also back in. We also replaced about half of the break lines. The body wont be done but it looks like the car will be driveable this spring.
