Well, I have made plentry of post with questions about this car, I know atleast one of you wanted to see it(dont remember who).

I bought the car for $650.00. It didnt run, lots of the body was patched due to rust but never finished the body work. It came with another car that I gutted the interior from.

The first day I got it I was trying to get it running. Turns out the fuel line had a crease in it and that was it!!! Fires up first try, shifts smoothly thru all 4 gears(4speed). I have had the car for about 2-3 weeks now and so far I have only gotten to interior. I took out all of the old sound dampener, got rid of every ounce of interior rust, fiberglass patched some small squares in the floor pans and spare tire carrier. Primed the floor, then laid down new sound dampener in the entire car. My next step is the vinyl work.

Definitely a work in progress can not wait to see your before and after pictures:) What kind of sound deadening do you use and where did you get it?

I cant wait either! I was so excited that it ran! I have a 302 I plan to build and put in. Mabey a 347 stroker. Ill decide on that when the time comes.

I just ordered a 2 quarts of epoxy primer and a gallon of urethane primer. Once the body work is done, I will under coat the car,rebuild rear and suspension with all new bushings. Ill freshin the engine bay when the 302 gets dropped in.

The sound dampener is actually stuff called seel and peel from lowes. Its about $12.00 a roll and took 3.5 rolls to do the car. I had talked to several people on painting forums and audio forums who have used this stuff. I went to an audio shop and looked at there dampener and it is identical to this stuff! Saves a ton buying it from Lowes! It will be in the roofing section. It is a tar type tape that is used to patch holes on a roof.

Thanks!

I actually paid $650.00 for two cars. The guy let me gut the other car and leave it on his property. I have all the interior pieces and a couple of drivetrain pieces to keep it running.
