New engine & trans install

This is my first picture post so I hope it turns out O.K. Pictures of the car as requested by several members, Bill Mitchell 427CI aluminum small block, Keisler 5-speed trans. Work still to be done- install 3" SS exhaust system. Hopefully I'll be able to complete before the snow falls and get it on the road. Otherwise it'll be next spring before I can give it a road test.
The car

Sachs clutch

Front frame reinforcement

Colour is a 1975 OEM Dark Red Metallic, although this is a base coat/clear coat. Wheels are Simmons, made in Australia. I believe Group A Wheels in Arizona is the only US distributor.
