rim blow steering wheel courtesy of David Tays (plumbeeper)

had my bumpers sent out to AMS. Had pretty good dealings with them assembled the front as much as I could and also put together the rear, but forgot to take pictures before I wrapped it all back up for the mean time

now for some of my homework I redid my heater box using a rebuild kit Detroit Muscle (worked fantastic) I also got a new evaporator and heater core

seat tracks.. I wasn't planning on a 6 way seat, but it just was a spare of the moment buy! still need to get the braces and knobs though

brake pedal assembly

E brake and accelerator pedal assemblies

Also through this, Im trien to give credit where credit is due. Ill try and keep a running tally of money spent as Ive kept all of my reciepts. So far, including purchas price, I have roughly $17,000 into the car (many parts purchased from Mega parts, ECS, Legendary)

There are a ton more of pictures but thus far, its taken me all night, but you can get an idea of where Im heading with this. Im trien to be as correct as I possibly can on a budged (sounds insane in retrospect) As of now, the car is sitting waiting for paint. My goal is to get everything ready to bolt on when the car comes back (last I was told, should be March) I also want to point out that even though dad helped on restorations in the past, Im doing %100 of the work myself unless specified (IE paint and upolstry) Let me know what you think. thanks!

Excellent work so far Kevin! Thanks for sharing, the '71 Road runner/GTX/Satellite is my favorite.('72's are a close 2nd).
I'll soon be restarting my '72 Satellite project.
Please keep bombarding us with photos!

So glad you are keeping the Gold guts...

Great project Kevin. You seem to be doing a great job of finding the right parts and pieces. You'll have a blast driving the wheels off of it.

I also have to realise that the car isn't going to be extreamly competative in the FAST class, but I always loved the thought of looking perfectly stock and blowing the doors off unsuspecting cars

Looks like you are doing a great job.Can't wait to see more.

I'll be watching with great interest

Looking good!

Awesome car ...

You will have a lot of fun with the f.a.s.t. class ..

I am no expert yet , but I am plagued by a lot of weight on my car a 71 GTX fast car ..

Take advantage of litening up the car now , the heater box is Mint , but it adds weight.
I see the six way seat . etc. Id be thinking about ANY way to liten up the front of the car ..
If you want to Run real fast..
, if you just want to run respectable times and have fun , leave it "as IS"- But IF you get the "bug" youll eventually be pulling all that pretty stuff out . It Is a HEVVY car




Im assuming youll stroke the pee out of the 340
and beat up some big blocks with it.

Did that car come from NC , looks like I looked at that one before .

Good Luck , look forward to seeing your progress on it .

yes, I have a 416 in the works. my tenative plan is to use a rebuilt 340 I have sitting in the shop now and enjoy the car for next summer and next winter after building my funds back, pull the motor and build my FAST legal motor. I only plan on running respectable times probably not be too competative as I know that a 71 b-body with a small block (and a/c to boot) isn't going to kick too much butt. idealy if I could run it in the 12's Id be very satisfied. This car supposibly came from wyoming and I bought the car from a moparts member in minnesota (it was listed on this site for a little while too)

few more picstures.. here is my jack assemby cleaned up and painted the correct colors. I guess there were some jacks that had grey bases and lifts and some were black, mine were with out a doubt black. I sill need to put the caution stiker on the base, but it didn't turn out too shabby.

beep beep horn cleaned up and painted. tested out really good! the camera im useing doesn't take that great of pictures so bare with me. they look better in person haha

head light assemblys. when I bought the car, John (the previous owner) did an awsome job of rounding up MANY extra parts! I have several sets of these and they all cleaned up to be a somewhat glossy black. I even had a set of beautiful galvinized head light buckets! I assume the paint blobs are for positioning? I was going to do some reaserch and try to mimic this, anyone have any info? I polished up the rings too. I also have a pair of the plastic 'black outs' all cleaned up too but forgot to get a picture.

since my older brother moved out a long time ago, Ive used his room as my personal storage space. Ive been keeping my soft trim and very breakable/ expensive things in there. heres a picture of my legendary stuff in the correct colors (ember gold+ medium gold)
