Project 68 The Great One

[SPECWARSQUID]

Just to add some information:

The trans is a Muncie M21

The 400 is a 1972 YT motor with 46 heads.

regarding the wierd looking decal and 4 on the bottom of the rad core support. It looks to me like some previous owner used what ever scrap metal he could find to repair the damages core support.

The front end of the car suffered some sort of front end damage that extended all the way to the frame. The previous owner did his best to fix it himself. But didn't do a very good job as all the front driverside body panels slump down. Bascially they couldn't fix the frame properly so they coaxed all the sheetmetal to fitt the bent frame. didn't really noticed it too much until we tried some replacement body panels and they would fit. At it's worst the driverside sheetmetal slopes down 1 1/2 inches more than it should.

The plan this winter is to explode the front end and pull the frame out from under the car to true it up then blast, coat and rebuild the frame.

At that point will tweak the Hotchkis suspension and get the car lowered in weeds properly.

here are some pics i have:
