My 75 V-8 4 speed car was finally delivered by my son last weekend. It has a 74 grille and some minor rust in the quarters and spare tire well. I cut out the tire well already and have another being readied for the install. I also borrowed the springs and exhaust from the light blue 75 that has a wiped RR quarter. Some rocket scientist had installed shackles without shock extensions on the dark blue one and damaged the springs. Need to re-weld the Z-bar bracket and some other minor details but looks like I have most of the parts to get it going pretty soon.

I have installed the spare tire well with reinforcements and put a fuel tank on it. It now draws fuel from it's own tank and sounds pretty peppy! Darn glass packs remind me of a chebby pickup though. It has a 318 with 915 heads and action series Weiand 318 intake with a quadrajunk (fuel efficiency 4bbl of choice) and the 4 speed overdrive tranny. I had to correct the "U" shift pattern as the previous owner had not payed any attention to the linkage rod positions of the overdrive. Should have some new pics up tomorrow of the trunk, engine and Jeep clutch hydraulics.....:cheers:
 
That dark blue car is a 4spd manual? OH! How Cooooooooool is that!!!!
 
Yeah I'm getting anxious about it for sure! Put it through the gears on the jackstands the other day. Should be fairly affordable to drive.
 
Under the hood.... something besides the master cylinders.... Haven't gotten out the Nevr-Dull yet... I have no idea why the fender braces were painted gold but that will be fixed!
