This is going to be a sort of abbreviated/consolidated Restoration thread all in order without comments and conversation breaking it all up.
I bought this car in Spring of 2017.
The car pretty much needed brand new everything.
Body was in good shape, interior was a rats nest, and mechanically/electrically it was very very unsafe in general.
We replaced basically everything mechanical and electrical on the car.
The only things we didn't rebuild or replace was the 8 3/4 rearend, Leaf springs, and front spindles. Everything else was replaced with brand new or rebuilt with new parts.
Car needed a lot of bodywork but was very easy in the rust department, two pieces of fresh sheet metal welded in to the lower quarters, one floor pan patch, and a couple trunk pan patches and she was ready for undercoat, primer, and lots of blocking/sanding
Finished specs:
Mild Built 360 Magnum with Lunati cam, Edelbrock intake, Dougs long tube headers, holley street warrior 650 carburetor, true dual Flowmaster 40 Exhaust, and MSD Ignition.
Fully rebuilt 727 Torqueflite transmission with reverse manual valve body and B&M Quicsilver ratchet shifter
Brand new Driveshaft, 8 3/4 Suregrip Rearend with 4:11 Gears
Painless Performance wiring from nose to tail.
Intelitronix Digital Gauges
I am going to kind of keep the explanations to a minimum and let our progress pics tell the full story.
