Last night's score. On the left is a '69 HP 383 and the right is a non-HP 383 that runs well. Also grabbed a radiator and driveshaft. Wooohooooo!

Progress update. Thanks to a fellow Moparts member with a good eye(thanks Jess) I was alerted to putting the brake shoes on wrong. So tonight I got that fixed and continuing to work on prepping the engine...

I actually got work on the Beest this weekend. Not a huge amount of progress, but a step in the right direction. I bought a set of 15" aluminum slots for it to make me a little happier with the appearance. It doesn't quite look Joe Dirt, but I am cool with it until I get farther. The engine is 90% stripped of old paint and in the next couple weeks I'll repaint it and get it ready for install. Hopefully the Trade Fairy does me well and I can get what I need to be road worthy in the next month and a week.
Here's a couple pics.

I'm liking the looks of it a lot. Don't even think about repainting it. It looks BA!

It won't be pretty for quite some time. I will be cleaning the dust off and trying to make what good paint there is on it shine! Once I destroy these tires I will go taller. These are 295/50's. Want at least 275/60's. But will probably go bigger. I think the wheels are 10". Gotta love b-body wheel houses!

I'm liking them, too. Going to try to clean them up a little. New rubber will be nice, too.

I'm officially done poking around to check out the body condition. Pulled the finish panel off the back. Ouch. So far the AMD list includes:
Rear tail panel
Right quarter panel
Rear window channel
Both window corners
Maybe a full trunk pan while the quarter panel is off
Left inner fender.
Maybe right fender. Oops. My bad. They make high volume items like Super Bird window trim that I'm sure people need 20 to 1 over '69 Coronet fenders! Hahaha.
I'm sure more to come.
Here is some bitter eye candy for me!

However, I remain undeterred. I will still be thrashing in the next three weeks to make it run, stop, steer and make the trip to Woodward!

Tank is out. Had it not been for some abuse, then it could have been reused. The j-bolts can be salvaged. But, with new everything else, why? Lol. Pad is even decent. But brittle.
A mile of air line for the air shocks:

Tank. Looks good!

Okay, maybe not.

How come I can just hear "hold my beer a minute" when I look at that tank? I've seen some crushed tanks before, but holy crap!
and I'd just slap the finish panel back on and check that off your list.... there's a guy on FBBO that just rebuilt the tail panel on his '69, just got laid off, probably be able to do yours in his sleep!
gotta love the old cars.

One step ahead of you. Finish panel is back on and it's overlooked. For now. It'll get fixed when the body gets my concentration. Right now it's forward on drivetrain improvements...

Trunk floor from below...

Looks like someone hit it with an airsoft wand or something. Lotsa dings.

I'm not sure which direction to go. Lots of dings means lots of hammer work(black car) which=lots of labor which = lots of money. The rust isn't terrible. So patching it makes sense. But to get it straight...
Oh, wait! It doesn't matter right now!! Get it running!

Make it purty...

(Pencil me in, in the obviously small group that seems to feel you can have a nice car AND drive it)...

I've put 20k on a nut and bolt resto...
