It has been a long haul, but the project I started with my son in 2008 is finally done (except for a few details). We did everything ourselves (new floors, every nut/bolt etc.) except paint and top. It was a basket case 6 cylinder (with incorrect V8) and badly rusted floors. Now, a 350/350 with 5 speed (hydraulic clutch) 4 wheel discs etc. Not original or a show car but it came out pretty well.
A lot of help from this site and a lot of work. Thanks to everyone who has given us help along the way.
