A few pics. The ones where it is sitting low is where I would like the ride height to be, roughly. I just used large ratchet straps and c clamps to collapse the springs.

A few pics of the firewall, trans tunnel and trunk. The tunnel is no show winner but after all its going to be covered up anyway.

The motor painted and put back together with the new heads, cam, and a low mile SLP oil pump I found for $60 last weekend at the local swap meet.

That car looks really familiar. Did you get it in Oregon? Nice progress BTW.

It will be awhile before its done, but at the same time is a toy ever done? As my brother says rods are never done, just at different stages of completion. Lol. Yes the car is from Oregon. I have been trying to get ahold of the previous owner for some time now I have a few questions for him mainly what primer he used. He may not want to talk to me hard to say, I think he may have been a little upset with the price we settled on. If you know him PM me.

I don't think it's the same car now that I look at the dates in your thread. My friends car was rear ended, looking at your pictures, it made me think that some panels had been replaced, but after digging real hard he only just sold the car in Jan of this year... I could have sworn it was the same car!

No worries! I went through your build thread, I really like what your doing. It would be nice to have a 6 speed.
