    apederso2, making them too nice to drive is something I seem to end up with all my cars.  I bought this one to be a nice driver but I started cleaning up the engine bay and, well you see the results!   :banghead:  Anyway, with the 512 stroker I am putting in it I'm sure it will get flogged occasionally.  Won't be able to afford to drive it much with all the fuel she will drink but it will be fun.

    Here is a few more pics, got the shocks & front brake calipers installed and the brakes bled.  Working on the weatherstripping & door handles and things.  Will have some more pics this weekend.  Oh by the way I'm now a JUNIOR MEMBER!   :woohoo:

    Here is some new pics, been installing the door latch/handle asby's quarter windows, drivers side mirror, rear bumper, trunk weatherstripping, door weather stripping & chrome drip rail molding & weatherstripping, new 3/8" stainless fuel line & 1/4" stainless vapor line, battery tray, vapor canister and probably lots of other stuff I just can't remember right now!  Actually starting to look like something that may turn into a car one of these days!  Still waiting for the hood, trunk, header panel and all of the front end bolts to be painted.  I think I may wait for the 512 to get put together and installed before I put the front fenders on.  Supposed to have my 440 source aluminum heads in the next couple of weeks.

    Got my new gas tank & sender installed tonight! :woohoo:  Now it's ready for the rear valance w/cutouts to be installed probably this weekend.  Ordering some engine parts this week as well.  Ordered a Lun-60304 Lunati .513/.533 lift 276/284 duration 3 bolt hydraulic flat tappet cam for the 512 stroker. :burnout:
