Car looks great. Fan motor black looks a lot better
Front suspension is back in and the car is back on the front tires for the first time in a long time. I need to put the torsion bars back in it and then I can weld the USCT sub frame connectors in it. After that the motor and trans then the cage.

Car looks awesome!
I put US Car Tool connectors on mine when I replaced floor. Was out driving mine today and the rigidity those connectors add totally changes the car. Absorbs bumps so much better and no more creaks rattles. Car drives feels so much better huge upgrade.

Motor is in and the factory air cleaner even clears the flat steel hood. This makes me so happy.

Yeah that car looks super nice!
The TTI 1 7/8” chassis headers are an impressive fit. I was able to install them myself in under an hour.
Aren't you glad you kept it ?? Looking good , keep up the excellent work

I have the same set with a perfect fit
Rear suspension is done. Roll cage is next.
I haven’t updated this post in a long time. The car went to the alignment shop yesterday. This was the first time the car had seen sun shine in a very long time. I’m hoping to race it this weekend. I’ve had a few hiccups along the way but with great friends like @SMCARNUT I’ve been able to overcome them, at least for now. There will be more tuning on the carb and timing but that goes without saying on any build.
Looking good . Good luck this weekend at the track.
The car has been aligned and the interior is in. A few successful test hits sure makes me a little nervous for today’s race. I will post some time slips tomorrow.
