Default She won't let me drive!

We bought my wife's (Beth/yield2me) car a little over a year ago. The original plan was to buy a “completed” car that we could do some cruising in, attend a few local car shows and maybe do a couple road trips. The car came with a few “gremlins” that stopped much of that from happening last year. After sorting through most of them we did get her on the road again last fall for a few hundred miles of fun.

Our current plan is to do some upgrades this winter and be back on the road this spring. We plan on doing some autocross where Beth says "I'm gonna drive it like I stole it!"



The big items changed so far:
Swapped the spun bearing/cracked block 454 for a built 468
Swapped the Saginaw 4sp for a TKO 600
Swapped the manual rack for power rack
Dual pass aluminum radiator
Dynamat'd the interior

Some cosmetic things:
Modo pedals
Momo shift knob
Marquez tail lights
Twist Machine fender braces
Closeout panel

Our Winter projects:
G-link
Fab9/TruTrac/31 spline axles
Wilwood brakes
Vintage Air
Sound system

Here’s a before and after (so far) of the engine bay.



Here’s an interior shot.

The flakey rattle canned driver’s kick panel will be taken care of when I do the sound system.

Some of our goodies.
