Did this car with my daughter over the past 6-7 months. We pulled the engine, trans, and front suspension. Tranny was burned so got another, cleaned and installed new filter and shift kit. Cleaned the engine, adjusted valves, but did not rebuild it - compression was very good. The engine had been swapped before we bought the car - it's '73 vintage. Installed HEI ignition and Weber 2 bbl carb (DGEV). Installed a '73 style front end, disc brakes, k-frame and sway bar, KYB shocks, small block torsion bars, boxed LCA's. Rebuilt steering box with 20:1 ratio worm gear. Upgraded headlamps and wired front side markers to flash as turn signals, and third brake light (thanks Daniel Stern!). Swapped rear-end to big bolt (still 7.25) with bigger drums brakes. New master cylinder and brake lines. Bolt-on MP frame connectors. Interior was in bad shape from sitting in a barn for ten years (heavy mouse infestation). Rebuilt and recovered both seats, put in new carpet and headliner. Rust treated as needed (wasn't too bad!) and repainted dash and upper door panels. We aren't doing the body for now, it looks reasonably good from 20' and our goal was safe and reliable - not a show car at this point. Again, thanks all for the help! [/img]
