Always been my favorite year model, looking great.

My grandpa had the same year with a three on the tree and a in-line 6 and a coat hanger for a radio antenna
“ definitely not a hot rod, and way under appreciated by me ( wish I had it now)”
Learned to drive in it “ no power steering “

Absolutely. I rode around in a 69 during high school with a co-worker. 327 with 3 on the tree and no AC. This one will have power steering and cold air!

Everything is looking great and you are right about nickle and dime you to death. I have been working on mine for about a year and half now and hoping to be pretty much done in the next few months.

Been ordering parts getting ready for the swap. Received my Boyd's tank with fuel pump and sending unit. As a welder I can say, beautiful tank, though you will never see it when installed.
Parts ordered are:
PTC 3800 stall single disk Billet torque converter
5 position tilt steering column-column shift
Power steering gear box-rag joints-hoses
Gibson headers
LS swap motor mounts
LS swap transmission cross member
I still have too many parts to order but this should get the build rolling

Beautiful box was on the porch when I got home. Stainless Gibson Headers

All my crap has shown up in the last week or so. Fixed the brackets that came with the fuel rail yesterday. Got the headers and intake installed along with the starter and flexplate this morning. Having a buddy do the swap. Hope it’s at his shop this week.

I think the wheels and tires that are on it now will be for sale. Looking at a narrowed rear end now. Most likely will end up with Drag Stars and drag radials.
