    Dakota Gauges in. Like that they are modern but not too over the top.

    Got the shop cleaned up and moved over a bunch of parts. Decided to hang the rocker moldings on. Really torn on what color to paint it. When I think I’ve made up my mind the blue pulls me back in.

    Beautiful work and great engineering. For you Seinfeld fans - Six is good!
    What rear end type and ratio did you end up with?
    Where is the gas tank from?

    thanks! The rear came with the car. It’s a 3.42.
    Gas tank and pump are from tanks Inc.

Carpet in, front bumper on(need to adjust) passenger front wheel well molding on. Holes were welded so I had to redrill.

    Well I got the taillights wired up and have been driving it a good bit as-is. Interestingly the 3.42 works perfect with the t56. Cruises at 75mph at ~2300rpm. Zero lugging. Thought for sure I’d have to run a lower gear but it’s perfect. Put the badges, and correct rocker molding disc on it. Think I have a guy to paint it soon. Just going to stay with the same color. Path of least resistance.

    Awesome....did the 1/4s finish body work out without much issue? Also be sure to spray a good coat of undercoating on the inside if you haven't already
