Looks good Matt  I hope to see it out when you are done with it. Are you still planning to put the 383 in it? Greg
416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out.
11.06 open headers----so far!!

Thanks Greg, Yes I am going with a 383, I picked one up a couple of years ago, date coded but not an HP because the a.c. cars didn't use the HP blocks. I'm not sure if I am going to install a.c. on it, in fact I seriously doubt it. They say these cars are only original once and this one is obviously far from it. I was even going to replace the firewall with the one I got from that doner Coronet without the a.c. cut outs but I think I decided I better not, who knows what I might do in the future?. I did pick up this intake and carbs for it though, B engine 6 barrel with `70 carbs on it ready to go, in the picture that hardware is sitting on top of the 340 in my project Challenger.

Awesome work!
I did a trunk floor and quarters on an E-body 'Cuda by myself and thought that was a ton of work!

In preperation for media blasting I removed the interior floorpan and the upper cowl, in my opinion there is no sense blasting and priming parts you know you are going to replace anyway. I also like that some of these frame parts that wouldn't be exposed with the floors in place will be blasted and primed/protected.

Here is another one, You'll notice that between the package tray and the outer sheet metal there are 2 pieces. One of which AMD repops, that would be the obvious small black piece, and the other, I am told they will be repoping but aren't yet. I am lucky enough to have found a couple of sets of reusable ones, or at least ones good enough to use as templates to make some home made ones. Looking back on page 1 you'll see a pic of the metal that the package tray attaches to which was also rotted out on mine. I think I am going to attach the bottom piece before I send it off to the media blaster and the top piece (AMD) after, just before I install the quarters. By now you can probably start to tell that this thread is starting to catch up to where the restoration is at this point.
