update,
both style subframe connectors welded in, my opps fixed, going to pick car up today from the bodyshop after work, now its time to get to work,
need to make sure all bolts and rear is centered, install rear pads and rotors, parking brake cables, front pads and rotors, trans mount ,, picked up a poly one, figure out what exhaust i am going to use, replace y-pipe and left side exhaust manifold, make sure the fuel and brake lines are completly bolted down, i have new injectors but going to hold off on that for now, get an alighment. so i figure about 1 to 2 weeks should be able to put on road and drive it, maybe sooner,

well its been a long road but car is on hold sandy did way more than i ever could have expected, i have not touched the car since the flood got parts out then they came to due the front steps and found a whole lot of termite and carpenter ant damage it took me almost 2 months to fix all the damage that was found but now house is solid as a rock and this week the insulation has been installed, 70 sheets of sheet rock in garage and Thursday is the day for installation,
now back to car, lost more than i thought to flood water so as soon as i get alittle bit of time i am going to bring car home clean it out and take a good look at it see what what i still need to get and try to finish//or just get on road for the summer

just an update,
thanks to dave's help. he got the headers on y-pipe in, roller rockers on , gm performance valve covers on, a set of bilstin shocks and struts in , ac delco plugs, taylor wires msd cap rotor and coil all on and done, just needs to put borla under it, then its off to exhaust shot to due the custom work i want done.
car runs pretty well for a 305 just for ha ha's i might throw the set of slp runners and ported plenum on,
still need to do front and rear rotors and pads, install griffen rad and blue goodyear hoses i have for the car, just need to order a edelbrock water pump and possibly a heater core to just do the complete coolant system over,
this is the plans i have
after dave's hopefully in the next 2 weeks depending on weather maybe more, off to exhaust shop, then to my work for and alignment, then straight to bodyshop for some work to be done, cant afford to get car painted but i can get the parts edged in and put on for now, this is what has to be done at bodyshop
i have a brand new gm lower front spoiler and bumper cover for it as well as an ss style hood now, rt fender has bondo in it i have a clan used one i am going to put on,
plans call for a complete paint job will try and work something out at bodyshop. hope to work there on the car on my day off during the summer so its going to look like hell for a bit, done car at least it will be getting done,
