Any more pics?

Yea I have pictures. Currently having issues trying to get them uploaded. Stay tuned.
Hey you got any updated pics of your car? I was gonna ask you, do you think a holley 750 dbl pumper is to big for my 351W?

Well I shot a quick coat of primer on the pass side inner fender to see how it is lookin. Not to bad so far, still have more sanding to do.

Is anyone else having issues trying to load pictures. I have them saved as jpg and they are not to large, yet I can't get them to upload.

Looks good. Are you going to put a 82 GT front clip on the car ?

 

[traxscr]

Yes, I sold the 86 front and rear fascia. Already have the 82 rear fascia and a later model rear spolier on the car. I will also end up putting the correct quarter windows back on.

Made some progress on the engine this weekend. Got tired of sanding so I desided to take a break from the engine compartment and work a little on the engine.

Why did you box in the sway bar mounts?

 

[traxscr]

I like the smooth look. You do not need to access the fasteners to remove the bolts.

Made a little progress over the holiday weekend. Almost ready to put the engine back in. Have more pictures in my Work in Progress folder.

 

[1nine84GT]

Looks GREAT. I wish I had 1/2 the ambition to that to my 84. Keep up the good work and the pics coming.

 

[my89notchback]

Looks great!

Thanks guys.

Finally got the engine installed and started the car last night. What a relief to hear it fire up. Still have some issues I need to resolve, for some reason the alternator continues to draw power from the battery even when the car is not running. The guy I bought the car from put a kill switch inside the car to kill the connection between the two when the car is not running.

Definately looks much better! I wish mine was that far along. Good progress, keep the pics coming...

 

[traxscr]

Made a little more progress. I still need to re-adjust the rockers, getting a tick. Also need to find a head light bucket for the driver side high beam. Haven't had much time to work on it lately. My mother has lung desease and is dying. I have been spending all my time with her and my dad.
