67 cuda FB progress UPDATE

Nice build! Just saw your thread for the first time.
Coincidence that we are building a 69 fastback and it is Viper Gun Metal Pearl and will have Matte Black Stripes.
And we are in Snohomish!
Picked up our project car March 26 2016. Have a ways to go. The Viper Gun Metal Pearl is a little darker than your car but in the early 80's I had a 68 that I painted Smoke Gray Poly... very similar. Will you be at the Mopars Unlimited Spring Round Up in June at Mariner High School in Everett? I would love to see your car in person!
I had the original 273 in previously and it went out in a whisper. Or whimper. Bad rod knock all of a sudden, lost all oil pressure after it spiked to 90lbs, over heated and limped it home just as it smoked. It's not worth it to salvage the 273. I have way to much Into it already.
As far as me going to the Mopar show in Everett. Well, I was planning to but it all depends on weather or not i have an engine built and installed.
Thanks for the nice comments and if you need help sometime with your build just let me know.
