Should be a nice one
I see a/c, p/b, p/s, parchment interior with head rests. All of those are a plus for most.

My motor in my last project was professionally rebuilt by one of the in the business locally here in South Jersey. His name was Tiny Figga.
He passed away inexpectantly a few years back. I was told from the previous owner that only owned the car for a month that this current engine was rebuilt. I don't know at what extent so I may have it broken down and inspected by a machine shop before final assm. As for all the detail work on my previous project, that was all me. I love handling al the final assm and detail work I will be happy to post progress pics too Thanks for your interest |

Front Suspension
It's a dirty knuckle breaking job.
All my front control arms have been sandblasted and refinished New Moog components too. Just need to press in the bushings with an arbor press |

Rear Axle
Thanks to all the replies that helped me with my rear axle question.
The rear was all rebuilt and is from a 1968 GTO 4 pinion Posi with 3:55 gear ratio, I sandblasted the axle. Drained and refilled with new gear oil and additive. Replaced the dented rear cover with new, new brake lines, Brakes and inspection marks and decals |

Front Restoration
Really like that painting tree. I had to hang my stuff from the garage door tracks and then leave the door open during drying time.

That's nice work... I'm switching rears at this time myself. Wondering where you sourced your brake lines?
