Well i got my '73 when i was 18 back in '03. It was my mom and dads DD when i was a kid back in the 80's early 90's. Car was parked in 97 and left for dead due to a bunch of problems. I started working on it and have made it my projexct these past couple years. it has seen 3 motors since ive had it, and been in one accident. been painted twice, niether of the jobs was i happy with.

getting it driveable was priortiy #1. did a rebuild on the holley 2v and that got her started. when she started to finally crap out i did a rebuild that included rv cam and holley 600, aluminum intake, and E7 heads. engine threw a rod and had it redone.

Had the pastor of my church who does upholstery do the interior but did shotty work mainly cause he doesnt do auto uphosltery so it was very basic but looks ok. only paid 80 bucks.

Did the floor pans earlier this year and new carpet. looks alot nicer.

last year i put on some aftermarket wheels made to fit, no spacer used on my car. also did the pwer disk brake conversion up front.

Currently i just did the FAST EZ EFi conversion and am in the process of doing a built AOD swap with lentech valvebody all red eagle clutches, 2500 rpm stall.

Im still locating a 9" rear that i want to do with powertraxx unit and 3.73 gears to make full use of having the AOD.

AFR 185 heads are in the plans just incase i decide to go 347 stroker. MSD iginition is also one of my plans. also suspension mods! gonna lower her down in front and back, 5 leafs should work well along with performance shocks. I wish i could do coil overs.

and of course i gotta have A/C, i live in TEXAS!

heres a vid i shot last year. here i still dont have the efi, i had just don the wheels and tires. When it comes to buy tires again im definetly going with more meat in the back.
