Restoration woes

I know this isn't a car restoration site per se and that originality isn't necessarily the first thought on everyone's mind but I do appreciate all of the replies. This car was stock when I got in in 1969 and I had my fun with hot rodding it all through the 70's and 80's and now that it has been sitting in my garage for all the intervening years, it's time to get it back on the road, hopefully as close to as it was when I got it as possible. I've only done internet searches for another 273 so perhaps I'll have to start scrounging bone yards. Meanwhile it looks like I'll proceed with the 318 build. I'll probably document the restoration when I finally do get started so stay tuned!
