Thanks

I have decided to put some money in the car lately, well over the last year.

The engine/compartment really needed the most work.
I put a new factory exhaust on the car.
New clutch and fly wheel
Put in a 3.55 sure grip which the car originally came with.
Correct distributor
Rebuilt and re-installed the original transmission
New fuel and brake lines.
New water pump and heater core.
Complete new Legendary interior
New seatbelts
Had all the exterior chrome redone or replaced.
A lot of other little things I can't remember.

The car was painted a few years ago, the body was really nice, all original panels not patches or filler.
The car has a lot of factory options.

I will post some more photos when I get it back from my friend.

Over the last few years he has had the car more than I......
I could not have got the car this way without him.

Sounds like you did a lot of the same things that I have just finished over the past 2 years. Well done and very nice. Kudo's. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Looks good. I painted my engine bay around July 4th. Between work, family and an unplanned trip to Cleveland I'm still putting it back together. Of course there are things that I deem "need improving" so it is delaying the re-assembly process even more.
