What block are you using? I see cross bolt main bolts. The block in the RoadRunner is just a production 440 block. Not sure what year it is, probably a late model block. The car is an original 383 car so numbers don't mean anything.

Looks good.

I'm still on sheetmetal.
Left quarter + inner (new amd 3" wider) and outer wheelhouses are installed, a little custom clearance work done to the lower front lip, entire trunk floor replaced/1 piece, front fenders are replaced, reworked and ready for 320 blocking, hood is reworked/painted and ready to be installed, right front inner fender replaced, the front inner fenders/underside prepped and painted black.
Last week I cut off the right quarter and am repairing everything behind it.
Thinking about doing a roof skin too...freshen up the whole exterior.
Lots of time spent making things fit.
I've been filling a memory card on an older device with tons of pics and rather raw video, it's been suggested to start a youtube channel, but need to go to school for editing etc or have somebody else do it.....I thought about starting a build thread here, but it kind of seems like talking to myself and there's not much participation here lately.
Forbbodiesonly has a little bit higher rate of participation, I do like that site (I'm Rich H. over there) but feel like I have more friends here, so I haven't taken the plunge. So for now I am just dumping most of it to a Fakebook album for FB friends to check out if they want, and to have a dump/free storage location in addition to the memory card.

It's way more than I thought I would ever do. A couple years ago I asked around, looking for someone to help with body repair. The answers were either "no", or crazy high prices, or "come see me 2 hours up the road and we will talk". Didn't care for any of that, so I didn't do anything about it. Then Covid came along, work from home started, and what better time to chase some old pipe dreams. Hope things are good with you and yours. Feel free to text me sometime, or something

Looking good Andy, and no doubt Rich has added a ton of skills doing it himself. Doing a fine job at that.
