Very nice job. A 71 that could probably pass today's emissions standards! Cool.

I put one in my 81 but I have a auto. I love it, besides the fact that I am pulling the trans out because I lost 2nd gear.

yeah he said in somebody elses post that he is selling it. man that sucks. i would buy it and use it as a parts car for my 70 bird since he has already done the homework on it and it is already driving. that sucks to finish something and then end up selling it.

yap it is up for sale.....going to college so I have to let it go. A bunch of people approached me wanting to buy it when I went to shows so that got me thinking about selling it. It is hard but I want to start again from the ground up and do an entire car, body,suspension and LS2/T56. If all goes well there is a local guy who might take it on Saturday.

It was a great project and I learnt lot. i will definetly be getting another 70-73 once I settle in the new place and get this college thing going.

you know as much as it sucks to give it up that is a pretty responsible thing you are doing. getting some dough together for college and planning for the future.
