72 CS with 500hp 455

This car has been in the works for over two years. I believe I have finally have the motor corect after three rebuilds (long story). It has been tedious to say the least. Detailing the engine compartment has been a test in time. Every bolt ,washer and nut has been sand blasted,sealed and finished. I was lucky as the car came from Freemont California. I believe I have spent more time under the car paying attention to every detail. Amazing how many hours you put in. I will post some pictures soon. The best thing I could have done was buy the assembly manual. It has been a invaluable piece of info. The car has a hurst shifter, A/T ,Tilt, air,cutout bumper with trumpet exhaust. I just added the 442 grilles to the front which looks awesome. I should be cranking up the new motor this weekend and maybe getting it out for a little break in time.
