Hey, my name is Jon. I live in the Long Beach area. I purchased my car from a friend in pieces about a year ago. He had been building the engine in his garage to put in his '70 Nova, but while building the engine came across this '72 with a blown motor and no trans, which was in much better shape than his. Put the fresh engine and Th350 in, but never got around to finishing the project. The car sat for about 4 years in that state untill I purchased it. A few weeks later and some misc parts, she fired for the first time.
I have since then bought the Hotchkis components, installed a pair of Master Craft buckets seats w/ Crow 5-points, a B&M Pro ratchet shifter, and Grant steering wheel. Next is the Guldstrand mod and some new rubbers.
These are the only pictures I have of her. Been meaning to get some up-to date pictures...

Welcome. Looks like a nice starting point. Taking over someone else's unfinished project is usually the best way to get started.
