Looking good how much longer till you get to drive it that when all the little hassles become a distant memory and you think you will do it all over again. Great Job Justin

Looking great Hotwheelsjr. Is that the original code red on there? It has just enough brightwork and black accents to really make that red pop.
Man that looks like crap! It clearly needs a 400 block in the trunk for ballast. :roll:
Looks good. :thumrigh:

Thanks all.
jjr426 - I'm trying to have it running by New Years.
OldVart - Yes -- that's FE5, Ralley Red
Jaxle - It's a mild 400 -- the car is originally a 400/727 car and I picked up a cheap 400 to drop in it. I still have the numbers block (with two smoked rod bearings and a toasted crank). The hood on my '67 is a '67 hood with a 70+ e-body top skin welded in place of the original top skin.
More pics to follow Sundayish...

The RR looks nice. Can't wait to see it done. I sold m y 73 RR to my father in law about 7 years ago. He had Hughes engines build a 440 that's around 600 HP for it and rebuilt the suspension, rear end and brakes. The car is painted 92 Viper Red. Too bad he hasn't picked it up from the body guy and finished putting it together. Might be another five years at the rate he is going before the car is out on the road.

Ok...so she has plates on her and my son hasn't let me have the keys since Tuesday afternoon...
BTW -- Phoenix guys -- we'll be heading out to 83rd ave and Beardsley Saturday night. There's a Safeway on the corner there and every Sat night about 200 cars show up. It'll be the first night we've had the RR out there. I'll be traveling with Rick (71autoxr), his brother (with the Cobra) and another buddy of ours, Dick (with a late 60's GTO). If ya can make it...look us up!!
