Hi guys, sorry I don't get on here everyday
As for the build I'm not going for a standard resto.
The rear will be tubbed and 4 linked I will be running a coil over front end and a 5 speed box and definitely going with a hemi
The car is just a base model with no fender tag but is a plum crazy white int car
So plans are to run with that color combo

Ill also add that prior to the work being done here the car sat in another panel beaters shop for 1.5 yrs and he only removed the firewall and floors so I got the car back and had it done somewhere else which took him only 7-8 weeks to complete the work in these pics which I was quit impressed with...although it came with a price.
Sorry the pics are not quit in order

Yes it's been a little hectic up until lately I didn't think it would move along so quickly.
I used a US car tool stiffening kit, it fit quit well (so far) I still have the rear torque box and chassis connector pieces to install

It's been a while but I have made enough progress on the car to post a few pics, it's coming along well I think.
I fit a gerst suspensions front end, wilwood 14" rotors all round with 6piston calipers in the front and 4 on the rear, I'm running a turbo 400 with JW bell housing and a gear vendors and a full floater dana 60.
