Here are new pics of the finished frame. Most important section to strengthen is the rear upper control arm crossmember. They tend to pull out.

Rough bodywork is finished. Floor Pans and new trunk installed. Working on mocking up roll bar with frame out of car, attach frame than weld roll bar in. I will have more pics soon.

This might not be a "dime rocket" but I have less than $3000 in this car which includes the purchase price of $1600 delivered from Delaware to NY. Would I use this as a street car restification", no. as the rust repair has been a lot especially with my amateur body work skills and the $199 super Chinese welder i have been using which finally took a crap. My next $ outlay will be for a new and much better welder in 2 weeks.

Really my only big $ outlay will be a converter- I have the rest including rear, 396-325 motor from my 68- I yea, I can use roller rockers now, still have stamp steel rockers in motor, but never broke one when I was racing- probaly due to the low .398 lift. I used regular Crane rockers, not the long slot ones either, never had a problem-

Have to dig my 77 Crew cab dually Chevy truck out to tow wuth and get a trailer too-
Can't wait -

Question, probaly for Mark Y

I have a built TH350 with 2.75 1st, manual valve body. I bought it brand new in 2002 and has never been run in a car. It has been sitting since. If i take the pan off and due a "visual" and everything looks OK (no rust I guess) would it be safe to install and run as is?

I would say "yes"...
But here's what I would do: Keep adding ATF,, 8-9 qts ,, until it runs out the vent..Don't even give it time to fill the converter...Then, after it settles for a while, fire it up and immediately add the remaining 3-4 qts.
Put it in manual low, wait a few seconds, then run it through the gears , light throttle, then try reverse, gently.
You will probably have to drag the brakes to feel the 1-2 shift with it up in the air. Don't be concerned until you drive it with the rpms up a bit.
Good luck
