I mean, what'd you expect Jody?  It's a California car. Most of those are always a great starting point.

Now I'm at the beauty part of beauty and the beast.  This week I should have enough stuff arrive so I can start test fitting the chassis and drivetrain.

Jody, that $5 looks to be an old one. What’s the date on it?
The 12 bolt in this car must have been swapped in? Interesting...

The bill is from 81. I didn't think the 12 bolts were hard to find in these, my buddies 72 small block non-SS had one too. I can't say for sure, but other than radiator hoses and an aftermarket radio, this car has no mods. At least it's something I can sell to buy more parts.

Got the Baer brakes yesterday so I did a quick mock up so I could get the front wheels on and the chassis on the ground. Everything fit perfectly, no drama or "hotrodding" required.
Next up I'm going to pull the body off and get it on a rotisserie to do the inner tubs and cut the tunnel for trans clearance. Then get the body on the new chassis and finalize engine placement with the adjustable motor mounts.

Love the wheel design. Simple yet stylish. Not to mention FAT! Good lord those rear tires are wide.
