My first muscle car build thread (lots of pics)

Managed to convince my friend to bring his engine lift over since he is a block away and his was in his driveway together while mine is in the garage wedged in the corner in pieces. can't believe I got him to bring it over so easily.

I spent half the day cleaning up a bit, so ill have more room to work. since my dart project started a few things had gotten in my way. My dad acquired a 350 and that was just plopped down haphazardly and in my way. So we took that and threw it on the stand, at least now its move-able. Then we got this old fridge when my grandma passed away, real old has this big round thing on top. There was a good spot for it up against the wall so we muscled that in there and out of the middle of the damn patio. Then my old 318 was laying on the ground, i popped the heads off and threw them on the shelf, then took the pan off to finally investigate what happened. It turns out it spun a rod bearing. Other than that the motor seemed like it was in good shape bores looked good and stuff. I just don't think its worth keeping around and tripping over so I think I'm going to scrap it. I took that engine and put it off towards the edge of the patio. In the end I freed up a bunch of real estate. I could move things around and pull the entire car under now if needed.

Then I went at the car. I welded up the stupid vacuum advance filter thing on the firewall. Then I cut out the drivers side inner fender rot and trimmed up the patch. Doesn't sound like much but it took a bit of time. Really wanted to have all the patches welded in today but maybe tomorrow.
