Here is my project... I have been working on this for the last 3 years and it is almost there... Just don't ever get time to work on it now that I got married. A little here and a little there though. Here is a list off the top of my head what is done, It is a 73 with a 302, the motor has been bored, cam, timing chain, with a edelbrock performer intake and 4 barrel carb. New wiring centech, electric fan, electric fuel pump, pertronix ignition. Stage 2 Centerforce clutch, Converted to a hydraulic clutch to save room for shorty headers. I converted to a tube front end but I kept the old wheel wells to cut down on mud and rocks. The interior has the racket jacket system from wild horses, the high back seats where given to me and I have no idea what kind of car they came out of, but they work;D I decided to put a digital dash in since I was rewiring and I love the thing... It will be even better when I am actually driving it haha.
I would have liked to do a frame up but as for the body I replaced both front door posts, kick panels, hood cowl assembly and the windshield frame cowl panel. I never used the hinge on the windshield and that is where alot of rust seemed to have come from there so I decided to make it solid. I welded it on and smoothed it out... I really like the looks of it. I also got rid of the seams where the front quarter panels meet the grill and where the rear quarters meet the corner posts. I cut the rockers out and beefed them up with some steel. ....... and that is what I can think of off the top of my head... My computer is being weird and wont let me upload pictures... But I will upload some soon
