Awesome story and great build!
Looking forward to more progress...........

 

[340swinger4spd]

A little more progress. We took the headliner out and insulation. Ofcourse it was home to some mice.

And I got all my parts back from the powder coater. Here is my K-Frame

 

[340swinger4spd]

I decided to take the back window out since most of the bottom moulding clips were rusted away.

The roof had dents as if someone stood on it. There were also scratches in the paint from 30 years of storage. So we sanded most of the paint off.

I made some progress on the core support tonight. Here are a couple pics of my progress.

 

[340swinger4spd]

More progress today... I had use some straps to get my measurement for the radiator. Then test fit. Then epoxy..

 

[340swinger4spd]

Test fitting the panels before paint.

The engine needs the flywheel, clutch, bellhousing. I will mate the tranny and install together.

Went really smooth with that nice Leveler

 

[340swinger4spd]

Motor and tranny are in and headers are bolted up.

I couldn't find a correct new blower motor so I tore my old one down. I dressed the commutator and replated the outer housing.
