The car set in the garage from March until May, as that is how long it took me to find a replacement back window. That was a saga in it's self. When I started this, I was just going to fix this and that to make a decent cruise ride, but I now have the wife convinvced to try and pull of some sort of complete build. Know I am doing this at least:
1. Replaing all 4 frame rails
2. replacing all wiring
3. replacing all fuel, brakes, and transmission lines,
5. new front end
6. motor rebuild
7. tranny rebuild
8. new susspension
9. rebuild brakes
10. new interior
I had the new rear windsheild put in before i amd ethis decision, which now I regret because I am repalcing headliner, and will have to pull it out again. Oh well first in a mountian of live an dlearns I am sure. Here are some pics as I begin to tear her down.



Here is the rusted Strut rod bracket I removed. I ahven't got any pics lately but have most of the interior removed now, and plan on pulling the motor and tranny this weekend. I will post some pics once they are out. By the way didn't mention it before. Car is an original 289 with cruise o matic tranny. Came with a new Edlebrock performer manifold and performer 600cfm carb.

Thanks for looking
Barry

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
