Well I got the booster and master cly installed.Got the brake pedal and gas pedal hooked up.Got the powersteering painted and hooked up.Fix the trans line and got them installed.And put part of the exhaust on.And got the rest of the dash back together too.
All i can think of that is left is cut the drive shaft and weld it back and install it.Get the rest of the exhaust installed.Hook up the rear brake line.And wire up the engine and the Duraspark.Then put oil and antifreeze in then it should be ready to get it running.Just wanted to let you guys know Tony
