The plan is a 440 stroker with a manual hemi 4 speed which is all being rebuilt as we speak and then a dana at the rear. It survived the blaster pretty well just floor and cowl with a few bits here and there to sort. but I did have to source a bonnet and trunk lid.

Here's a bit of an update. Thought I would weld some frame connectors in before the floor pan was fitted just to make it easier. Then finally at last the floors are in. :thumbright:
