I figured it was about time to share with you all the project I have been working on for the last year or so. I lost a bunch of photos from when I began the restoration, which really sucks! When I originally bought the car it was missing the engine and trans, along with a bunch of trim. But the body was absolutely rust free, and I just couldn't pass it up.

I bought the car with intentions of holding on to it for years to come, but things in life have changed, and I may have to let it go. I built the car the way I wanted it, and didn't even mind what the fender tag said. After all, it is a slant six car. Originally it had a 225, and a column shifted 904. Now it has a warmed over 318, and a manual 3 speed behind it. Mopar purple cam, Torker 340 intake, and some other goodies. I went with TTI headers, and the TTI exhaust system all the way back. Thing sounds nasty. Also put an 8.75 out back. Here are a few pictures of the car as of the past week. I hope to have it all finished up by next weekend. At least take it to a couple of shows before I have to say good bye. I will post a few more pics tomorrow. Let me know what you guys think.

That is nice ! I was supposed to build an fm3 car for my wife, then she lost her job.. she would love this car !
 
That car is absolutely awesome!!! I really hope you get to keep it!! I showed it to my wife and she said "that's mine!" Lol! Wish I had the money to buy it for her if you do sell!
 
Love It !

You do some nice work that's for sure.

Hang onto it if you can, it's a looker !

p.s., I think it would look even better if you dropped the back end for a little less rake
 
lets see that motor!!! and i am supposed to be fixing up a 71 demon with that color on it for my wifey
 
Wow! That's one beautiful car! That paint job looks killer and I'm not really a fan of pink cars. :D
 
Thanks for all the kind words guys. It really does have quite a rake to it lol. I need to raise the front end up a little bit for sure. Here are a couple pics of the motor.
