408 Build Thread

Old dead threads are getting deleted here so I thought I'd better update mine to keep it alive. I've been enjoying the car and driving it every chance I get. I still have a list of things that need to be done to it, but it's a project and will probably never be completely done. Mostly just little projects, but I still need to get some tail pipes on it and that involves messing with the park brake cables and possibly having them shortened. I've been accumulating parts again and I have new reproduction tail lights and harness to install (finally will have reverse lights), a matte black tail stripe and misc odds and ends that have needed to be done for a while now, but I've been having to much fun driving it!

It's been a long cold winter here in the midwest and I've had two different surgeries since October, but my health is good now and hopefully the weather will break some time soon? They are building a brand new drag strip thirty minutes from here that is scheduled to open mid July. Hopefully we'll be regulars there on test and tune night and I can finally get some quarter mile numbers on this thing.
FANTASTIC looking car! Congrats for that. Like many on here, I've got a 408 nearly done that will be going into my 72 Demon. Were you ever able to get your car to the track to get some numbers from it?
