heres were we are at today. Swapped the wheels for my draglites. I can't get over why the rear is so high??? Stock springs, shackles etc..

Got the Champion 26' rad in. Booster is all done (just waiting on pedal linkage from Moparal    )
Brake and fuel lines complete. All weather stripping and chrome trim almost done.
I converted the car from manual brakes to power, and also converted from column shift to slapstick.
next plan is to put the harness's in the car and wire up the msd box inside.

Thanks! Started getting the harness's in the car last night. Have to fix a few, and get an underhood strap kit. Im going to try and mount the MSD box tonight inside the car and wire that up..

Well shes running!  Yesterday i wired up the msd ,and we finished modifying the stock harness's . My dad redid the headlight bucket mounting plates and installed all new adjusters,and got the lights in.

Today, we put the magnaflow stainless exhaust with x pipe on, installed the flex plate bolts, the transmission lines, E brake cables, speedo cable,lokar kickdown cable, etc. Then put some wires on her, filled with fluids,starter wires hooked up, and she fired right up.   

We both had a big smile on our face, car sounds great. Now we are waiting for some brake pedal linkage, tottaly auto grille paint, a driveshaft and front valance.  Have to fix a leaking powersteering pump seal behind the pulley and a few odds and ends,then move onto the interior...
