Figured I'd start a thread about my retirement build. Most think this car will be done around the time I retire! A friend bought the car hoping the beg for forgiveness instead of ask permission would work, it didn't and I wasn't disappointed as I gave him an immediate out.
Started life as a 70 Swinger 340/auto, 3.23 8.75, A/C, PS, PDB, Console, Buckets car. Vit C orange with white stripe and black interior. Engine and trans were non numbers and in bad shape
The canvas.

The BAD!!!
A 70 340 with a performer 318/360 intake and a 73-74 TQ on top. Anyone see anything odd???
No wonder it didn't ever run right.
Looks like a battery exploded at one time. Inner fenders and bottom of hood were torn up.
