I've read about other builds and looked at the pictures....so I wanted to share some of mine. I've got a lot of great ideas from this forum so maybe I can pay back or inspire someone else. I hope I get the pictures posted right! Since I started the build I built a new shop and it is now in the new shop with a lift.
I dont have a high tech set up but my 69 build is on here and I too am doing a tilt front clip,
Do you have some pictures of your hinge/pivot point, I like to see how others do that....
Still needs cleaning up and powder coat. I have 2 12 volt actuators that raise and lower it. I used 2 3/4 bore bearings and a 3/4 solid shaft for my pivot point. The actuators are at a 10* angle.
I can remove 4 nuts and the front end will come off. I'm not a body guy, but I want to do this entire car myself...well with help from my wife. I'm an engine builder so that part isn't a problem, but this body work is a lot of work. LOL!
Hi Hale, Your project looks like were in the same place a little. I am also doing my first restore by myself. It's been some adventure. The new place for your car looks awesome. I am learning fast about removing a front clip from my donor car. The paint and body section has a lot of feedback especially from DUB. Keep the pictures coming, you know we love them.

Thanks Roger. I will. I put a Turbo II body on an '80 back in '83 or '84. It was a job! LOL! My wife and I are having fun with this car. I have more pictures to post as soon as I get another free minute.
Your car looks like it's coming along as well...keep it up.
A metallic Orange. Have the Hooker Headers and chrome side pipes for it as well. It will have a 540 with a BDS 8-71 blower, hat and electronic fuel injection. Should be a cool car. Shooting for September for a finish date.

Thanks guy's. My wife and I are trying to do it all ourselves. The encouragement from everyone here sure makes all the work seem a little easier.
Looking for 1200hp. Starting with a Dart block 4.500 bore and 4.250 stroke so 540" with a Littlefield blower. Going to run Brodix heads. It will have A/C and power windows.....I plan on driving it. Thanks again for the interest....I'll post more pictures.
