you are going to have a time there, I am just putting the last touches on my 72 swinger that I have had for 28 years,lots of thinking time, real fun. Ill keep an eye on this one.

Nice work man and great thread.

When I first started on this I cut a couple of holes in the sheet metal to access a couple of things easier, looked ugly as hell, so I installed a 1 1/2" square tubing to run from the fire wall to the radiator mount. Then I welded tubing from the horizontal on the top to the frame. I welded in...

Like I said the sheet meatl came from AMD, Quality stuff and fit nice. some I had to make. so heres one inner wheel house that was rusted on the lip so I made a new one. then I primed it. I did this on each side

Thanks man

Here are some shots of the rust I had to deal with

When I rebuilt the frame I add a 1 1/2' square tubing to the rear to replace the factory cross member that was rusted through, I had to notch the spare wheel well to fit it. It should add some strength. I also fabricated a new rear spring hanger mount

So. I see it worked, Here is some shots of the subframe connectors I made

Hi again, I found some more pictures on photo bucket and I will try to post them here. Here is one of the frame rail I fabricated.

Well that's the story of me and my car, I had to quit drinking about 7 years ago and dug into this car its been my theropy and the garage my sanctuary. I put my heart and soul into this car the way I see it its my resume and statement in life. I started as a young street racing guy and built...

I don't know how this interior paint will work out some how I don't think it will last. the bench will eventually be replaced with buckets and counsel but I want to drive it pretty bad and that can wait. When I installed the fuel pump and regulator, I hard piped it with 3/8" brake line. Made a...

The interior came with the high back front bench, wood grain trim and it was that sh** yellow. One winter when it was a daily driver the heater core leaked real bad so I removed it and the rest of the heater stuff, welded up the blower motor hole and BANG summer car. I went with black interior...

looks like the video didn't work, but now its time to seal it then wet sand to 2000. This is going to be the 2nd time I am going to paint it. The first time the clear coat orange peeled really bad it might have been the weather it was about 50 deg f but 6000 watts of lights heated the garage to...

Now Iam going to post a video, I had just got it started and it needs to be tuned, the fuel pump is noisy, and after I got it running I took it out side for the 1st time in about 25 years, to clean the garage for sealing and paint,

A few more of the shop, a 24'x24' 2 1/2 car garage, and more of the body work, The rims I have are Ansen aluminum slots, I have always loved these rims since I worked on model cars. I bought a set of unilugs Years ago and ran adapters with them, I never trusted them so I looked for years for a...

You can see from above I added a couple of touches to some seams. Now the car was in real bad shape but it was from a very defining time with my father, it represented a time when we both buried the hatchet and not in each others heads, so it has meaning to me so it will also go to my son after...

Might get some of this out of the way now, Packers play at 3:00pm today and its cold out today :wack: Heres some pics of the body work that was done. Your going to notice that their are different colors of primer, that's because it took me a very long time to get it acceptable in my eyes. I...

The hood is the stock hood, I bought this scoop along time ago like I said before, mounted it and cut the hole. It was fiber glassed to the hood then one day I was looking at it and I saw a vent in a air conditioner grill and got to thinking about the hole in the scoop, and long story short, I...

Here is some of it in the garage on the rotissory, just to show you the size of the shop I did all this in, including paint.

Thanks mr. Nite moves, Just one more pic of the engine the way it sits right now

Radiator, Rear end

The car came with a 318/904/ 7 1/4 rear end. I bored the block .030with new pistons and rings installed a Engle cam .480 lift both int. and Exh. don't remember the duration off hand. It has a Holly 650 dp and a Edelbrock duel plain intake. I used 360 heads that I had shaved .035 so I guess I...

Thanks, and I don't know what the scoop is called I bought it from a Whitlock Auto parts about 25 years ago, This is going to take a while to get through, I am busy like the rest of you.. So I had to make caps to fit the rotted rear frame made from 1/8th plate steel in 3 pieces each side and...
