Well, I'm made some pretty good progress within the last couple of months. I completely refurbished my dash, installed my windshield as well as my rear window. I bought brand new tires and had those installed and balanced. I bought two bride style racing seats. I'm currently fabbing up the mounts for those. I'm also looking for headlight bezels and the three interior panels that go around the inside of the rear window. Here are some pics.

This is amazing work, I can build an engine for fun but bodywork isn't really my thing lol... What are your plans for getting thrust?

Car looks great. And a 360 with eddie heads will make great power and be very durable.

Well I've slowly started putting the parts back on. Here's a picture of the carpet install. I'm powder coating the rims and referbishing the grill as I wait for more funds. Thanks to Craigslist, I started with a cheap motorcycle helmet and traded my way up to a brand new mini starter, aluminum waterpump, headman tight tube headers, new taillights, and some hooker long tube headers which I'm trying to get rid of. Oh and I just bought brand new forged pistons for less than half of retail value thanks to CL

Most of the short block is put together. I hope these probe aluminum pistons performed as good as they look! Haha
Nice going! Cool to know ,Probe is doing 360 pistons!

Yeah I've heard really good things about Probe Industries from the chebby and ferb people so I decided to give them a shot. While balancing, my machinist was amazed at how much he had to take off the crank because of the lightweight pistons and rods (Scat I beams)
