Default My Project is Moving Along

I think I've made some good progress on my 75 since starting in early December. It's been a lot more money and time than I expected but it should be nice when I'm done. So far:

NEW
350 HO GM Crate engine with Edelbrock Intake
Fuel and water pump
Edelbrock 1406 Carb
Belts and hoses
Rear bearings and spindles
Rear differential cover
Rear spring
Rear TA and strut rod bushings
All shocks
All U-Joints
Tires
Rims
Front suspension bushings
Ball Joints and Idler arm
Flexible brake lines
TONS of sandblasting and painting

CHANGED
Rear Differential from 2.73 to 3.36
Distributor from points to HEI with recurve kit

LEFT TO DO
PS Hoses
Headlight Vacuum Hoses
Window Gear
Drivers seat frame, foam, and cover
Front & Rear bumpers
Paint
PICS for you guys!

I've done all of the work myself except for the rear bearings. I hope to have all the other items done by spring (about mid April around here ). This project wouldn't be half as far along as it is without the help of you guys. Thanks for everything. John

Thanks Roy. I'm working on the picture posting. I'm leaving on Sunday for the rest of the week so I'll try to get something posted on Saturday. Never tried it so we'll see what happens.
