So far, new amd 1/4s, trunk and interior floors, tail light panel, Dutchman panel, and driver side apron. Hemi torque boxes, subframe connetctors, inner fender supports and reinforced radiator support. Stripped and put on rottiserie, then had body shop do body work and paint(10 weeks). Body color on bottom of car.Expensive but no regrets. Custom paint that is a pearl clearcoat version of ef8. Satin black bumblebee strip and hood treatment with callouts (505 cubic inches) in body color.
Working on installing classic air, underdash steering/brakes/wiper, then dash w/Dakota digital gauges and rewire car with ron francis kit. I am pretty excited, had a 70 r/t ef8 from 77-84, no money to do it how I wanted, now is payback time.

Nice Fizz! I need any and all info on Classic's A/C install in a 70! I'm hoping to do it within 90 days.

Beautiful Job  

If you are going with "505" CALLOUTS on the hood..... make sure it can "walk the walk" ?
No Offense,
but I've seen waaay to many other people spend many tens of thousands, even $60-$70K SPENT on beautiful Body's/Restoration without even batting an eye as "necessary",
then when it comes to building their Engine....
for some strange reason ?
They go into "what's the cheapest way" possible mode ?

I just dunno here.... maybe because Engines are the last things that get done AFTER Budgets are overspent ? who knows ?
All I do know is that it's far too common.

Non taken. I really don't have a budget, more of a as cash flow allows, and would look forward to input from the engine guys on this forum. I started an engine thread, will be a 505 6 pack with Duane porters heads. Local very good machine shop, but more chebby based, so get concerned about the bushing lifter bore discussion.Power tour capable and flat 12 second are the goals. I am watching the roller cam discussion
