Stick your finger in the various holes and feel around for severe pitting and potentially thin spots inside the frame rails.

A little off topic but ... just did this last week !! If the car is gonna be driven, you don't really want base/clear on there !!

Yes. An accusump would be your best option.

Wow, do those things still exist ?!?!?

I agree. But it needs to be clear coated afterwards.

Welds look fine.

They had a thin foam strip tucked in there (I still have the originals). You could use thin foam weatherseal or anything else to fill the gap. As stated, all it does is stop the rattle.

You don't need any fancy "spot" welding ... mig will do just fine. You'll want to do a "plug" weld.

There are many you could go with and nobody would know the difference. Hot Rod black or Satin for example. On something like that its not worth overthinking it.

Bearing surface only has to contact the fingers of the PP. Anything else is a waste. I suppose the zerk would be handy if you have a stock bellhousing with a removable dust shield but if you have a scattershield the zerk is useless.

I never saw an episode when the series ran. Then got curious a few years back and whatched one and thought, SERIOUSLY ... what a pile of crap. But I probably would have loved it as a kid!

Pretty close - unless you don't know a ratchet from a screwdriver !!

Y'know, its not always about the $$ !! Sure, missing the numbers-matching block would be an issue ... IF it got damaged. That's a pretty big IF !! Furthermore, regardless of the matching block those cars STILL bring a big dollar. Lastly, consider the OP's initial cost versus resale. A profit is...

I agree.

Repops are 6-700 bucks. I'd say that one "as is" is easily worth that. If you're going to sell it, do nothing to it, let the next guy do whatever they want to pretty it up.

Somebody needs to wash their car !!!

I've never seen an aftermarket one that had the underside reproduced like the originals. Particularly where the air cleaner seals to the hood. Its my guess that anyone who reproduced them didn't have an original to copy so they made the underside in a variety of ways - concerned only with the...

Well for all you naysayers, you may want to keep in mind that a stroker kit does NOT ruin a numbers matching block. Stroker kits are available in a broad range of bores and strokes. The OP could go anywhere from 500" to 528" with the original block and the only mod would be a common .030...

Hmmm... take a look at those cars running the F.A.S.T. series and tell me again about the limits !!
