First time working on a car

Price: 1500. Spent a least 2k on top of that (haven't had the heart to actually tally my receipts).
Found a sweet deal that I couldn't pass up. '71 440 long block. Needs a carb, water pump, manifolds, and a nice rebuild. 600. Trying to figure out how to get her home now, she's at a shop with my name on it.

Here are a few more pictures :)

Haven't been on top of my scrap book, but here are a few high lights from the album
Custom trunk liner (couldn't find an after photo for some reason...)


Tried some #7 on my buddy's power wagon


Depth comparisons. Conditioned the trunk, hood, and roof first, sides and smaller pieces were last. Drop two clay bars doing the sides :(

Really hard to notice, unless you look for it, but she has tiger stripes on the roof.

Saw some sick cars while picking up the 440 at a fab shop. They make k-members (3k O_O )
They told us the Charger is Mike Kroeger's
Engine... +200k
