Greetings from Raleigh, NC.
The guilt finally got the better of me, figured I needed to post something if I was gonna keep asking for help. I did sign up for gold awhile back, no way I could get this thing back together without this site.
So roughly 10 years ago I was looking to build some sort of ground pounding street car (i.e. not a restoration project). The down side of that was I didn't want to cut up a car that could be restored. Finally my cousin came upon my 68 that someone had already started turning in to a drag car. So the sin had already been committed, I was just giving it a good home.
It's been tubbed, frame connectors and narrowed Dana. These pics are from when I brought it home.
Raising a family took precedence though, and not a lot happened until just the last couple years (which coincides with my son getting his drivers license).
I don't have a ton of great pictures just yet but hopefully in the next few weeks. I decided to go ahead and paint the engine bay so I could drop the engine in. Currently trying to get the brakes hooked up before dropping engine/transmission (727) in. Plan is to put SSBC disc kit on the front but trying to just get it moving ($50 of stuff from rockauto and I had drum brakes on the front). Had the rear end built up with a detroit locker.
440 source heads, eagle rods, 10.5 static compression .030 over, girdle plate.
Anyway, thanks everyone for all the help so far, and thanks in advance for your patience with all the stupid questions I've yet to post!
