Thanks guys. I am almost done with it. I have really enjoyed this car, a turn key driver that I can add things to or replace things and still drive it the next day is alot of fun.. The new engine is almost done and I have almost everything I need to convert from auto to 4 speed and that should be about it...

Very nice Tommy! It looks completely different from when I saw it in March. I'll have to take the after shots of mine this weekend. The 4.10 12 bolt posi is in, working on the NOS NMW Ladder Bars right now.

Chris, with a stock interior (cloth bench) I don't want to do to much because in my opinion there is a point to where it starts to look cobbled up when you add a lot of things but stop short in some areas.... I don't know if that makes any sense. The new engine is all orange without alot of chrome but does have a deep sump pan and I think I may add a vintage MSD (embossed logo) to the engine bay. Some little Day 2 items will be worked onto the car but I don't think I'll go with the skinnies or tow tabs on this one. I have NOS Autometer guages from 1970 that I will be adding soon and that will really accent the inside

Tommy, what's your rear tire/wheel combo? Any clearance issues?

15x7's with 245/60's. The fender lips are cleaned up a bit underneath. What is odd is that they had been clearanced some already before I bought it. I raised the rear about an inch to keep the tires from rubbing the outer wheel house. I can't remember the wheel offset.
