Re: Pics of your pride & joy before and after
Before: hacked to pieces by the Boudreaux Bros. of Baton Rouge, Louisana. Front brakes did not work, power steering and AC gone. Front steering cobbled together out of a mix of 67 and 72 bits that didn't work.

After was taken two years later. Replaced entire front suspension, added new disc brakes all around, switched from 3.73 open to 4.10 eaton posi rear and replaced the half dead 350 with something a bit bigger. Added Gear Vendors overdrive and a new Johnny Winter built turbo 400. Now the AC works, the brakes stop it and I turn in the low 11's with the AC on!

I agree. I had seen this thread sometime back, but had to go through it all again. Some amazing transformations!

x20! The 73/74 grilles are what's meant to be on that body. Nice move. Oh, I just noticed some other nice changes, too
