Thanks for the kind words guys. THis is the first time I've ever done this type of work. My dad and I kind of got this car as one last father son project. It'll be a street strip hotrod with a stroker big block. We're shooting for high 10s on motor.
Fstfish66: We got rid of the vents because we'll have no need for them. In fact, the only reason we redid the dash at this point is because we're starting to install the cage and once the cage is in, the dash will be in for good. The combo will be 470 or 512 (not decided yet), 727, Dana 60 w/ 4.10, 315/60/15 drag radials.
Here are some other random pics of the build:
This is what it looked like when I bought it last Feb. for $400.
