Now, if you were to speak w/Jeffery (my nephew doing the body) you might get another story!!! LOL!!! Everyone involved will be happy to see it done, of that... I'm sure!

Might not be a bad idea to seal it anyway, to keep moisture from wicking through to the carpet if you happen to drive it in the rain. Man, that car is gonna be awesome when you finish it!

Thanks Mark, the engine is at a local shop in Truro to get checked out etc..etc.. almost everything has been bought now... still looking for a few hard to find items. Hoping to finish it around the one year time frame... didn't start it until around the end of Sept/early Oct of 2009! Bryan Don't be stupid.... it's not smart! 1970 Super Bee.

I'm running behind. I started the thread in April of 2009 hoping to have the car in the shop by June! We didn't end up getting it in until sometime in late Sept/early Oct if I remember correctly so we're not doing bad! The engine is out of the donor car and waiting to be gone through (see pic). Bryan Well, here it is mid October and the engine ($$$$$) is done... correct exhaust manifolds are still off to be painted... carb (750 Eddy) is on it's way... dist/wires etc are just waiting. A BIG thanks out to Darrell..... From this..... To this..... New grommets/pcv to be installed.... Used the new bracket for the electronic ignition conversion. Will paint both the bracket & box engine color to hide it better. Bryan Last edited by Edison62; 10/12/10 08:43 AM. Don't be stupid.... it's not smart! 1970 Super Bee.
