a few updates. I have 4 straight OG fenders on their way. Also some running boards. HUGE thanks to Gabe.

the dLk brothers have offered several parts, i appreciate it.

Today i replaced the trans mounts. The old ones were so crusty, that when I took them out, one of them crumbled like a dirt clod. Also, the new mounts lifted the rear of the car about a 1/2 inch. The other mounts were so worn out. I need the right rear quarter panel, from the tip to the 'vents'.

This is a fun car work on.

Nice start. Just slam it, clear it, and forget fixing the dents.

Oh btw, nice work Chuck on the moving car. I like that it doesnt have the rear apron lol

fenders and running boards arrived. HUGE thank you to Gabe for setting everything up.

I'm going to take slammerd's advice and roll the car as is with few changes.

Today i got all four fenders cleaned up real nice and I washed the car too. Then i put 3 of the fenders on the car. I'm going to have to do some metal work on the passenger rear quarter panel. I banged on it and tried bending it, but I'm no professional, so it will probably need to be replaced. I got the new ignition installed, and i did a little 'adjustment' on the fuel line where it passes next to the tranny.

Also, My engine is pretty much ready to install. I'm going to get it in the car and get the car running and worry about the quarter panel down the road a bit.

My camera is MIA, I will try to get some pics up soon.
