Updating this thread;

I have worked with sound deadner kits. Got rubber kit from Dante's parts. They are purposed for floorpans and are removable. "Solid" mats are from local "Pepboys" and made by me.

Got also my dash pad back from Sweden. It was restored by http://www.autoline.se and looks now soooooooo nice.

I have been little lazy. Overhead console, roof and sails panels are ready and waiting for installation.

Engine is causing me grey hair. 440 or stroked 383?

Stroked 383 or even stroked low deck 400? Looks stock and you have to get underneath it to tell its a 400 unless you can see the id pad by the distributor.

Ok, 383 to 496 stroke kit is ordered as well 440Source Aluminum heads.

Got new Wesco Perfomance seat belts. I didn't like buckles, these new ones look much more better IMO.

Sorry for baaad picture. It's taken in the dark and shadow is making buckle look one-sided.

After long break a small update.

K-member and shocks are now OK. Parts are from Firm Feel, Edelbrock, AmericanMuscleCar.BIZ and Energy Suspension.

I also started installing MP disc brakes.

BTW, I'm pretty confused. MP Brakes promised that their disc brake sets clears 15" wheels. Well, front is OK but rear brakes doesn't clear 15" Rallye Wheels :villagers: What now?? Maybe Vintage Wheel Works V40 or...???
