67 build up

I am in the process of putting a '67 back together. I have a 455 with all the good stuff ready to go. See the link for pix.

Too long! the motor has been done for well over a year. My 66 has cancer badly and it was beyond my skill set to replace the sheet metal so it has been setting. I got lucky and found a very solid '67 that has all the body work done except for a little blocking and paint, it just needs a motor and tranny.

I had redone everything forward of the firewall on the 66, new tie rods, disc brake conversion, bushings, coil springs, shocks, etc. I am in the process of moving all that over to the 67 along with my 4 speed pedals. With any luck I will have all that done and the motor moved over by the end of this weekend.

I started the 455 this week.

Excuse the white top plate, it still under repair.
