Baby Come Back; '70 Charger Restoration

Do you have your booster in yet Dave? If so post some pics of the pivot linkage. I have a friend with a 70 Charger having issues with his. @scottsch

Finally got the tail panel trim on. Thank you Pete/ @chargervert for the templet. Thank you @eldubb440 for encouragement to not giving up. Still need to install the charger emblem.

The trim panel itself looks nice. Did you or your body guy do some touchups on it before mounting?

BAD News today my buddy called me and said come look at your motor. He was getting it ready on the stand and put water in and yep it has a crack in it. Machine shop missed it? SO now I have to decide what to do. Buy a block or buy a short block crate motor. I feel a block and the work to be done will be the same as a short block done.

DANG... grind and weld.. repaint.

My concern is if it has a crack inside.

That's what I was thinking. Although it sucks to have that extra expense when you thought it was ok.
