Finally i start on my 72 build
 
I bought a 72 out of dallas in november, today is the day i finally get started, 5-7 drop, tubular control arms, cpp sway bar, cross members etc, 350 TBI, going for the original/ custom look. Hopefully today i should have plenty of pics to post of the build and parts! Been working on everyone elses project but mine! Today is the day i get started on MINE! I have too many parts laying around that are collecting dust!

Im looking for a P/S bracket, prefer billet or polished! Ideals on which one to go with? Currently have one that i bought from speedway but its just not right! its got my belt cocked out! need suggestions!

My dad asked short or long h2o pump?, our p/s pump brackets from summit and cocked over a little too. Also not very sturdy in our opinion, so we fabed an adjustable rod on the front of the pump to the extra boss on the long water pump, it makes the belt alignment perfect and pump very sturdy. I'll have my dad take a pic tomorrow
