Thanks for the replies. I know it's not a high end build like some of the other cars on this forum, but I think it's going to turn out pretty solid.

Finally got started. The front clip is off and motor is out. The inner fenders are going to be powder coated and I need to do some rust repair on the firewall, lower cowl, and radiator core support. And apparently my car was originally an SS 396. It's got the 4N fisher body code that supposedly represents the L35 SS396. Does anyone know any details on that? It might change my plans from PT to resto. Anyway here's her current state:



the junk crate motor:
\

cowl rust:




firewall rust:




The subframe is solid and just had some surface rust:

My work hit a snag a few months ago when my wife was diagnosed with an auto immune illness. Well I'm back on track. Fixed the rust in the cowl, got the subframe back on with aluminum bushings, got the new control arms in, and the fender wells powder coated. Still waiting for brakes and new rearend. I put the old brakes on just to mock up and take pics.











The block comes back from the machine shop today, but unfortunately I'm deploying for 6 months. All my parts should be in my garage waiting when I get back so things will go pretty quick at the end of November.

Finally got my 383 from Blueprint Engines. The dyno sheet says 420hp @5500 rpm, and 450 lb/ft of torque.



Gonna finish cleaining up the intake manifold, painting the headers, paint the block Hugger Orange, and hopefully have it in the car in the next couple of days.

Engine is finally in. Having the fender wells, hood hinges, and core support powder coated, replacing the brake booster/master cylinder with an SSBC set up, adding a quick ratio steering box and that should finish up the enigine compartment. It's only taken a year. Hopefully the rest of the project goes a little faster.

Nope, those aren't my cars. The owner is letting me use his garage for my build. He restores old British roadsters.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm a little bummed at the course the build has taken, but when I can afford paint, new rear springs and some wheels, it should be close to getting back in the direction I wanted.
