Well its going on 6 yrs that I've started this car, I'm now at the point of at least being able to show some progress. Up until now I've been working on the small parts but since December of last year the bodyman has been working on the paint. Its finally getting some color and the best part is coming this winter, that is to put it together. A little about the car,its a 71RR, V Code, 4 speed, Dana track pack, EV2 paint and black bench interior and a white roof stripe. The only option on the car is power disk brakes. And when I found this car, all the numbers matching drivetrain was still there. Since this is my first B body,I've been asking a lot of questions to Eric at the Roadrunners nest for some restoration knowledge. I thank him for his time. Now for some pictures.

Is the engine done ?
Engine not done yet, I have all the parts gathered but my plans are to bring it to my engine guy next spring. By then the car should be advanced enough to be able to drop it in right away and start her up.

Probably a little hard to do a body drop With your 4 post lift ,
..
I'm sure it's been done before but I have never have seen it done. My lift's right runway is moveable so I can get 44" of clearance between the runways. My K frame I believe is smaller, so I'm going try it. If anyone has experienced this please chime in. Any tips would be great.

Bench-seat cars got the 'long' shifter???
Drove one '71 V-code RR...
Had the 'short' Pistol-Grip...
Don't remember if it had buckets...
Cars with buckets with console had the short one. It used a different mounting points on the transmission.

Ron, I matched what original paint was still left on my dust shields to the samples the powder had on hand. It was a low gloss black. Probably was low quality gloss when new, but that's a tough environment. All of the lower control arms I have owned (including NOS), the cosmolene dipline is closer to the top rivet. Either way, nice job! And GYgeneral, your runner is looking great!

I have a picture saved from years ago with the dip line like I have it so I always followed that, if you were a day sooner I would have moved it up!!! OK so low Gloss Black it will be, I sent you a PM before and after the board changes did you get either?? What about my idler arm question can you or GYgeneral answer that for me? Thanks again Ron
