I admire you looks like you are building everything on this car outside.
 
Yea I haven't gotten around to a big enough garage yet. I'm very dependent on good weather.
 
Keep up the ambition, it helps. I seem to be distracted from mine at times, need to quit sleeping I suppose. Either way, the car is looking good. I kinda like that extra fluffy dash pad.
 
Nah sleep is good it's those dam responsibilities that get in the way!
 
Got the rear valance on couldn't remember why I didn't put it on the first time?

So I stripped down the 360, I was hoping to freshen it up and upgrade the top....Cam,Heads,Manifold....But I'm not that lucky

Got word from the machine shop the crank is salvageable(the bearings were pretty worn and scarred the crank) The block will need a 30 over bore but it's all do-able.
 
Packed her up for a trip to my buddies shop. No more working in the grass and mud for a while. He's letting me use his lift to do the transmission and brakes.

I have LOTS of good wiring from 70/71 Darts.. enough to wire one whole car.. all in decent shape PM if you're interested..
Do you happen to have the section of wht/blk/grn wiring and connectors that that runs from the rear defogger switch to the left kick panel in a 70 Swinger? I just picked up a 73 Swinger too but I haven’t brought it home to see what it needs yet

What pistons, KB 107's will give a compression bump, but you have to balance the bottom end.
