Glad you found the glass, I'm not too keen on shipping fragile stuff. You need a date code off the back of the block near the distributor, could be a '74 OR '75 400 4Bbl.

4x not a bad head, egr intake not too bad either. needs a cam, I suggest a split duration cam like a comp cams XE or HD series, with good springs and rhoads lifters.

you might have a 3.23 rear, check that out.

Well I am waiting until payday to get the tune up items to fire the car, while I am waiting on started cleaning the windows, they have been weathered pretty bad they have a nasty film on them due to sitting outside.
The right side is after I cleaned with windex and then used acetone to try and take off the film, but NO GO, I had a polishing ball and a little concoction I made once before that work pretty good and after about 10 minutes this is the result.....

Default NEW "PROJECT UPDATE SECTION"

I posted in the lobby section...............This may not be the correct place to post this, if it is not appropriate mods please delete just trying to get some feedback

What do you guys think about a section placed in the general forums section about other members builds? Like a "PROJECT UPDATE" section, this section can be for any member that has an ongoing or just starting a build of his/her/ours rides that way there is a DEDICATED section for PROJECTS.

The "project update" section can be for ALL on going BUILDS that way we can see what other members are building and how they are building and who knows you may want to incorporate something on your ride that another member did and we can share? We can follow along and the member can update the thread with build/progress photos, the TECH sections of the forum are great as well don't get me wrong but I think it would just be cool to be able to go to one section and see what is going on with others and their projects instead of hitting each section up and searching through the threads seeing who is building what.

What do you guys think?

No honey that comes AFTER I get the tank and fuel lines flushed and repaired! The fresh paint on it and the interior done!

So how'd it sound?

Hey you've got to live with her I don't! Around here drivers sit outside.



Good News on the car, you're exactly right. A runner motivates you a whole lot more than a garage ornament.
