About half way done with PS conversion. Pulleys, gearbox, pitman arm installed. Pump painted and rebuilt. I like the way TXfirefighter painted his, wish it was powder coated but rattle can will do. I did have my pulleys power coated 60% gloss.

Sorry keeps flipping photos.

Last weekend I finish stripping three layers of the old paint off of my hood and front fenders. We then finished of fixing a couple of dents on the hood and one fender. Prepped and primed the hood and fenders yesterday. Today I stripped the grill. Oh ya and I picked up my new billet aluminum dash panel and glove box door from one of the forum members. Looks good with the new auto meter gauges I picked up aswell.

@vwnate1 no, I removed pieces individually because I needed to replace driver side outer fender. I have three days of cleaning so far and need at least one more before paint.I "rented" an engine hoist from my mechanic for the price of a case of beer.when I returned it to him he told me about a 350 with a hot cam, edlebrock performer intake, h.e.I. distributor, and a edlebrock 750 carb, which is what i was gonna do to mine.it's in a '78 nova. It runs and said I could have the motor for $600. I planned on spending at least that much on my current 350.so I gotta jump on it. Just waiting for uncle Sam to return the money he "borrowed" from me. Some pix of work so far:

Drove it to a friends Superbowl party. Spent most of the evening talking about trucks and watching commercials instead of the game.

Having a new windshield installed. Used the old stock stainless and a new (Precision Brand) seal and windshield without the shading across the top.

It went in like a breeze and no rust!!

Today was a good day!! (and, I didn't even use my aka...Ice Cube)

Changed oil and filter. Scrapped, sprayed and cleaned 40 years of road gunk while I was under there.

Yeah I was stoked when I came across these... I always dare to be different... LOL

No Late model electronics here... Nothing against our friends here that are wanting to run LS motors and Electronic Driven tranny's I just like being able to fix my stuff by the road if I need too...

Picked up new to me 350 s.b.c. RV cam, edlebrock performer rpm intake, h.e.I. dizzy, edlebrock carb not sure on c.f.m.s yet. Just about had a heart attack loading it onto lift gate and into the truck,almost rolled on us twice. Got it for $700 including the mechanic pulling it out Of the '78 nova for me. Time to go through it and check everything out From top to bottom. Had a mix up with an online order I placed for a '72 service manual, was gonna cost me $40. But I never received a confirmation or even a bill on my statement.called them up and told the guy the situation, he gave it to me for $25 flat including shipping! That's what I call customer service.
