To start off the car has been sitting for 3yrs because i was afraid to drive it due to front suspension. Bought all my parts and finally started on the teardown.

Had to shift some stuff around to get it in the garage and dug my 340 out of the corner

Good luck with your car. I'm going through my car, Front end will probably be this summer, maybe next winter. I usually make it to Greer each Oct. for a music festival, might have to be there in August this year as well for the Eclipse.

Hoping to get it done so my dad can have fun with it this year at the track since it was his car and he is not in the best of health, i want him to have at least one season at Greer Dragway in his old car which has only went down the track 3 times since the 80's
 
Well it is coming along waiting on my studs to come in then clean up paint and put shocks on
