Whatever you do, dont ever get discouraged. I have had my 67 since 2009. Didnt actually start on it till 2011. Even so, its been a slow work in progress. Family, work, kids and other stuff sees to that. On your end, probably friends, work, family. Sometimes i walk into the shop to do other projects either home related, or kid related like fixing bicycle tubes etc, and she sits. The point is, you own the car, dont put a time limit on yourself, enjoy the journey.

Btw is it still a 383 car, or is it now a small block? I noticed a 4 gear changer in the floor on your interior shot. Did you convert it to stick?

Thanks for the words of advice. I'm hoping to at least get the interior nice and then running and save body work for when I rebuild some funds. I wish it was still a 383, Previous owner put a built 360 in it as well as converted it to manual, however as I'm finding he's Jerry rigged about 90 percent of the car, he was building it for racing so he didn't care about the car like I do, so I wouldn't be surprised if something's wrong with the tranny. I have been looking for a 1969 383 (I'd like to find my original but I know that will never happen), still unsure if I am going to leave it manual or convert it back to the original console auto.
