Almost done with my 76 restomod
I haven’t posted much lately but do read through the forums. Regardless I thought I would post the near completion of my ‘forever project’. I got it tuned by Rich on Fastmanefi.com. He did a great job! I had a faulty fuel pressure regulator which wouldn’t hold pressure. I’m replacing it along with new lines on the intake this week. I’ll finalize the tune with Rich after. Will be working out the bugs for awhile I’m sure.
76 L82 4-SPEED CAR IOriginally which I bought 36 years ago and used as a daily driver.
Mods
Autofab 4link with 9’ and Detroit locker, 35 spline axles
427 sbc. Dart block, AFR heads, pump gas
Fastxfi
Tremec TKX, McLeod dual disc, Mark Williams yoke and 3” chromoly steel driveshaft
Vintage Air
American auto wire upgraded wiring harness, Aurometer gauges, new Speedo and stock tach with a new circuit board
Hydroboost, new stainless lines, front will wood 4 piston calipers, stock e brake.
Lots of paint correction and buffing but the 25 year old paint looks like new overall. A great driver for sure.
New or refurbished entire interior, rebuilt doors, new glass , new everything

A few more pics if anyone is interested. Lots of little custom mods to make all the aftermarket parts work.
1. Ebrake bracket and pulley to get the cable away from the driveshaft rather than running it through the loop.
2.autofab 4 link. I need to relieve the front of the frame kick up
3. Lowered and extended the floor pans for more leg room
4. Reinforced the front side of the frame kickuos
5. Removable roll bar stand off and roll bar. Fits perfect imo.
6. Lots of custom brackets and spacers to get the engine pulleys to line up.
7. Lots of custom wiring to the AAW harness.
More I’m sure. It’s been a long project.
