Meet Dottie Rae

Why do airplanes, ships and cars have to have female names?

She's actually in really good shape considering her age. A little rust here and there (no full pans - just spots), and a few wrinkles here and there to - but so do I.

Anyway - here's my new girl. We're just getting acquainted but I ordered frame connectors today. Planning on a stroked 360 (to 408) 727 trans, Independent rear suspension from Reilly Motorsports with an 8 3/4. Up front will get a rebuilt front end with some beefier parts and disc brakes.

Not planning to keep her really stock. Looking for 17's in the back, maybe 16's in the front, shaved door handles and some small refinements.

I suppose she will keep me out of trouble for a year or so!

I got her from my brother who honestly gave up a gem because we are aging and there's only so many left in either of us.

Looking forward to any advice you guys might throw my way. Maybe I can help someone else save a nice old piece like this!
