After seeing Mark71GTX's post on the restoration of his car, it got me motivated. I am getting started on my car, finally, after 5 or 6 years. Here it is, in all of its shame. 
Its actually in pretty good shape. Found some bondo behind the door, and the drivers rear quarter needs to be replaced.

It is pretty low. I put on 2" drop spindles and 1" springs when I did the disc brake conversion.

Its got a 454 in it, so it should go pretty good. This is the intake setup I was going to use, but I am pretty sure the hood wasnt going to close, so I sent it back.

I am hoping to get the front sheet metal up to be media blasted this weekend. There are a few rust spots on the front fenders that I need to patch. It is going to take some time, and money, and a little more money, but it will be worth it for sure. I am planning on doing as much of the work as I can myself.
