wow! VERY nice looking! 
I have to agree with the "engine first fire-up thrill"
When I first cranked up the 383, I didn't have the exhaust on the headers. Fortunately the timing was off and it only sputtered. That was enought to scare the poopie outta me.
I hooked up the chambered to the headers before I actually ran it

Bob...thats what my freind told me..."hey, just take the body off and the ngine and tranny will come out much easier". No sh@t! It just opened the door for many many other projects on the 71 
and Ken...I hadn't put the drivers side bungy on yet...should keep it more centered and allow good "flex" when I step on it!
