Thanks Bruce and Bill for the kind words. I don't remember what state of restoration the car was in when you guys were here, but it's about all finished now. Going to buy another set of rear springs to set the back down a bit, and a few small details to wrap up.

I can't post pictures (probably have 500 alone of this restoration) but I can do the next best thing and link to videos I've shot for the owner as this restoration progressed.

The entire build is geared towards a completely stock appearing car but the owner wanted more oomph. So I built the engine with internal changes, custom ground cam etc.. Made 507hp and 571tq through the stock exhaust manifolds.

Just got the engine in the car

The owner wanted me to run the car through it's paces and shoot some video for him. Also has a custom 9.5 inch converter I'm trying from a new supplier that I wanted to make sure worked as intended. Plan is to take the car to the track next month and see how it runs, but this is primarily meant as a fun cruiser. Nicely optioned with am/fm 8 track, AC, PS and PDB, power windows, deluxe interior, honeycombs, all on the PHS, and a great color combo.
