lookin' good, Mark.
It's always a good feeling when you see things coming together. 😀
Have you taken it on it's maiden voyage yet....or is that the next order of business?

Hey Jack. Thanks for the compliment. No maiden voyage yet. Fighting a water pump issue. Installed an edelbrock Victor ccw water pump and she leaked at the back plate. Pulled the pump resealed back plate and it still leaks. So I got fed up last night and ordered a new stewart stage 2 water pump
Still have little things to do, but they aren't holding me up.
I need to figure out where to get power for my line lock and where to put the flip switch.
Need to put new lower door panels on with 5.25" speakers along with new rear speakers, amp, etc
Install sealed beam e code conversion housings with new headlight relay harness
Install new express down window relay harness.
The biggest thing would be wiring in the line lock and hooking up my oil temp gauge. Can't remember where I put the harness.
Well not true biggest hold up would be getting current plates lol

well on my lunch break I got insurance and tags. so now waiting on this Stewart water pump to get here.
What a great build. But, man, that stick shift just puts that interior right up over the top. Well done!
Thanks Mark. I've felt backed into a corner for a while. I am absolutely loving things now I still need to paint the trim for the shifter but you know what it can wait till winter. I haven't drove in 8 years and by all means I'm going to drive her. He'll it's just felt good sitting in her the past couple of days with a complete interior
But I will say the stick really sets it off

Drove her tonight for the first time in 8 years all I gotta say is she felt like a rocket ship.everything went nice and smooth. Was a good evening.
Glad to hear that you're back in the saddle again, Mark.
It must feel great to be able to drive it again.. Like driving a new car... 😀
Good luck, man. Nicely done.

Yep, got off work, went home and got new stewart water pumpm went back swapped it out. Parked the yruck in shop and drove the car home. Waljed in house and said leys go for a ride. 2 hours later and s half tank of fuel later. Consensus i Need more tire. She breaks traction in a major way in 3rd lol. Boy is it fun.
LOVE the interior!!! The seats look so sweet!!
Came together nicely! Is it lazy on the bottom end with that intake? I always used a dual plenum even on a pretty big cam because you get better vacuum down low and better torque off the line. I had a professional products crosswind on my C10 350 .060 with 10.3:1 compression and .500 lift 302 duration crane cam. It was lazy with a ingle plenum on th ebottom, but breathed better over 6k with the open plenum. The Crosswind made it way more fun around town to launch and smoke the tires. But I also had a TH350 with a 3000 stall converter too...
