X2 ........looks like your doing a heck of a job. Keep up the good work.
P.S- people are interested but it seems its like pulling teeth to get fellow members to post any comments, don't get discouraged.

Besides the body it's lots of work. Cleaning hardware, getting the engine sorted out takes time
very nice build, I love the keystones jmho
Well, back on track now that the holidays are over. More sheet metal work to be done as well as replacing the fenders. The guys helped me get the rear end out in order to get the car on the rotisserie. I'll be working on the rearend next weekend. Stopped by my buddy Jim's place yesterday. He has the short block almost done. He does excellent work and knows how to make free hp.

Awesome job. Just read through the thread. The BB GTS is on my list as well. Good luck with it.

Wow. Tons of work to get this car back up to par. It is lucky that you bought it!
Finally seeing progress. JD finished up the motor yesterday. Should be a runner. Also, today we steamed the body getting rid of 40 plus years to dirt and grime
Looks great. What kind of horsepower will that 383 be ? Awesome build
I enjoy watching your car come together. Looking great. You gotta love big block A bodies! What paint did you use on the engine! Did you prime the block?
Raining today I thought it would be a good time to start on the suspension. Hit a snag. seems my buddy Dick at Firm Feel sent he lower BJs for a 10" drum brake car. Oh well, have some BJs coming so i'll hit it Monday .
Also thought I'd include a pic of another project going on in the shop

Got the front suspension all mocked up. Got the rear end housing back from the powder coater and the springs back from being rebuilt. The body is on it's last stage of body work before primer

One of the guys that works at the shop is doing the car for his dad. His dad has a pacemaker so he's limited on what he can do. 40 Ford. Drag car. Motor is a 451 stroker. Car will run a TF, rear will be 8.75 running a spool. Not sure on gears

Car is finally in primer. I also went over to my buddies place and we checked out my drop-in. Looks like everything is within specs. Also a set of 68 Dog dish caps I got from a FABO member. I have another set on the way so I can pick out the best to restore

I got another set yesterday and was able to pick out the best four for resto. All they need is the paint and polishing.

Holy wow, those are nice caps. Even as they are they look great (in the pic anyway). I have a pretty nice set that will look good on my car, but not half that nice. Nice score.
The car is finally in the booth. Will most likely be shot with final coats of base and clear this weekend.
