Been doing some more work and next week I'll start welding the car together from the inside out! With any luck, I'll have a complete car by the end of this month with pics and vids to follow.

Floors have beads run in them for rigidity and I formed the front wheel wells too. Door hinge pockets formed, and various other smaller parts and pieces.

Something cool I found after removing the motor were these numbers on each cylinder. I believe they are piston size numbers much like Mopar used letters on the 440 that was in my Super Bee. Those letters were grease pencil on the exterior of the block. Each cylinder is measured and each letter corresponds to a piston size. If the cylinder measures. 004 over, then it gets a letter A. The engine assembler goes to the shelf and gets piston A (a piston .004 over in size from standard) and uses it in that cylinder. .006 over would be a B, and so forth. I'm not quite sure on the actual numbers, but that's the idea behind it. Can anyone confirm this?
