Hey all, moving right along trying to get my E-body back on the road.  Got all my frontend parts powder coated and back.  Finished installing the parts, have the gearbox out at FirmFeel being upgraded to the '73+, per the suggestion of Dick out there, picked up a set of '70 Challenger rims with beauty rings, and done a few more small things.  I hoping I can get the gearbox back, drop it in and go cruise...finally.  Still a LONG ways to go but at least I can drive her for awhile in between jobs.  Next steps, pulling the trans pan and hopefully fixing the leak, then getting into the rear end and see what kind of condition that is in.  I think I have some carb problems too that I need tending to.  Updated my photobucket with some after shots if interested.

Looks like a great car to start out with.  When you do the rear diff gears, remember to add Mopar sure-grip additive to the gear lube.  They say it will help the clutch packs last much longer.  Thanks for the posts.
