I agree!!!
Keep us updated.:thumbsup:

What are the plans for this baby?
Are you going the pro-touring route or complete restoration?
How about engine/trans/suspension?
KEP US POSTED!:thumbsup:

Going the Pro Touring route. As far as the suspension right now it has a DMR Racing rear upper and lower setup (drag racing type suspension) and the front is CPP 2" drop spindles and upper and lowers with the Flaming River rack and pinion kit. Will have Wilwood discs all the way around and I'm not sure about the shock/spring setup yet. Any recommendations?

Nice looking powerplant.
What size cubic inch?
As far as suspension, check out DSE, (DETROIT SPEED & ENGINEERING), 1 of the best in the business and Speed-tech, who are pretty awesome as well.:thumbsup:

My good friend had a 72 442 in high school. He bought it off a old lady and it was in great shape. He really killed that poor thing.
Nice project!
