NEW PICS! completed engine and new rims

I have been working on this car for the whole summer and it's finally coming along. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Heres the empty engine bay before the 383 is installed.

A look at the outside.


A true original notchback here.

Here is a pic of the motor install- took forever because stall converter was not properly pushed in the whole way.

Motor time - see sig for specifics.

Looks great, I'm not too keen on rear, for the lift of me i can't recall the name of where the hatch usually is, .

Don't care for the hood, but the engine, wheels, paint look great.


Oh, I bet a thicker filter would help a little too, even a Fram or something, K&N or Holley would really be great though.

still sounds like a killer setup.

Looks great man...Not a huge fan of the notchback here, but otherwise it's beautiful.

Looks good, I love the way the notchback looks. Too bad your camera sucks though...
