yesterday I sprayed the inside of the frame with some rust protector. its a kind of grease / spray lubricate that keeps away rust and water. I put the rear back together just to see if all parts fit. I'll replace the stock rear end with a 8.5" grand national or better with a ford 9".
still have to wait for some more parts so today I got all the interior & wiring out and test fitted the 59 bel air dash. still need a few more cuts & welds but you got the idea
