I meant to say RPM customs, get ready hardcore, Im calling you very soon ha...

As for the roofs, they were dealer installed back in 78 and honestly they give me points in some shows. I would rather have T-Tops, but it's a lot of work to weld in new metal and everything there so I decided to just keep it how it is.

Thanks for all the comments!

haven' been on in awhile but figured I would give an update. The decals are on thanks to Paul at RPM customs, and I was able to find a matching set of front recaro seats from indiana. New carpet, new gauges, and new engine brackets have been installed also.

For your viewing pleasure

SPRING UPDATE 2012

Hey guys, haven't been here in awhile but here are some updates:

I finally bought a midrise lift for my garage. Completely worth the money spent, it makes my life so much easier with a lot of the work



New deep trans pan



new diff cover with bearing support



old trans pan





old vs new



installed



axle



new Comp Cam roller rockers



new vs old rockers


new vs old pulleys (underdrive crank)



im still waiting for a new water pump, flex fan, and some other parts. More pictures will come up next week!
