I was 100%joking when I said wall it. Was just cracking a joke. Car will be awesome when finished. Any time frame of when you think it will be done? You would love where I live for the woodward dream cruise! 10s of thousands of classics all out on the same day!

so the motor and trans is sitting in the car as of now. its kind of a pain in the ass cause no one in sacramento has parts on the counter for these old cars anymore. online order for 99% of the shit i bought. just got motor mounts in today. 2 days ago my trans bushing came in. just ordered the valve covers today as well. looks to be on track to be riding soon. just gotta swap the wire harness/ fuse box, gotta finishing putting all the pulleys and belts on. new plugs. ect. then ill be reinstalling the inner fenders, radiator support fenders with extensions and lower front valance. lucky for me one of the super intendants i work with is an ex gm mechanic. he lined body panels for a living in the 70's and 80's. I'm sure he will be helping. he has a 71 formula thats all tricked out. ill try and get a few pics of that to show off as well.

to be continued with pics....

Got a new heater box. Well new to me. They cant order these things. Classic industries didnt have one and a few other places i called didnt have it either. Lucky this was found in lodi, ca. Got all new foam sealed around the heater core.

Got all the subframe bushings swapped out. Motor and trans mounted in the car.valve covers are ordered. I took the dual 10" fans i had for my nova and going to use them on this thing.
