Wow, it looks awesome. :thumbsup:
Probably my favorite B-body of all of them.
 
The car is really coming together great. I remember putting those mud guards on back in the day! I saw a guy using them with those wide black paper clips and removing them when he got to the show, then putting them back on with the clips to drive the car back home.
 
Wish it really was Dads high school car, but its as close as I could find! Fender tag was missing so I did the ultimate MoPar sin, and built one according to what I knew about this car, and added Dads options this car didnt have, Vinyl Top, white interior, and center console, Dads car was a hard top. My car is a rear B7 car, is a white stripe car, but just missing a couple things Dads had, and to be honest, Id rather have it this way! My Girls are gonna love it as much as I do!
 
few more,

I used a taller intake, and didnt want to cut up the already valuable 440 air grabber base, so I took a roached out oval base from a 71 383 runner and modified it to work.

I like the way you reinforced the transmission crossmember before welding in the subframe connectors. Good idea to copy!

Thanks!, couldnt see any gains of just welding or bolting heavier steel to what I think is 14 gauge steel. I just figured the weld would tear from the cross member.
 
Looks awesome. Great job. I want another 69 Coronet/Super Bee again someday.
