That’s a real beauty brother.

I know a lot of the guys on here are pretty hard core originalists. I respect that. And I love straight sixes in lots of applications. Full size broncos with straight sixes are a really cool niche for example. I say this with a serious debt of gratitude to the purists on this site who have...

Welcome from NC! I like the color.

Welcome from NC. Great looking car brother. You must be pretty psyched.

It is great to see your interest in American cars over there. I am a red-blooded American, but I have always greatly admired the strength of the Russian people. Two of my favorite authors of all time are Dostoevsky and Solzhenitsyn. I also own several Russian firearms, which are amazingly...

Welcome to the forum from North Carolina, USA, and a fellow convertible owner. Congratulations on your purchase of a very cool car. Best wishes on your restoration; I am sure that you will (as I did) find the participants here extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Beautiful cars, brother. Welcome from North Carolina, USA.

Personally, my favorite stock color is the light pewter, but I haven’t seen a stock color that doesn’t look great. To your specific question though: if I was truly torn between the Wimbledon white and the grabber blue - like, truly 50/50 - I’d err on the side of the white because the blue is a...

Hello and welcome from NC!

+1 on looking into a dual plane intake for your setup, per @Hemikiller ’s advice. I have never had a Torker on a 351c but my experience with one on a 400 small block Chevy is that it is sluggish off the line without a high stall converter and some other less streetable tweaks. It is for maximum...

I used a 3-row Champion radiator and have had no issues. It did require some very minor tweaking of brackets and stuff to fit as it was a hair wider than stock.

Beautiful car! Welcome from NC.

I beat you to the duckbill/tail by two minutes! Great minds think alike!

Not to sound wishy-washy, but I like them either way. I am a little more opinionated about the front spoilers, which for me are a must. I think the rear spoilers look 70s-cool, though they do break up the lines a good bit and probably don’t help an already kinda rough rear visibility...

Thanks very much for the compliment brother! I myself was inspired by @luxstang. Though I guess our cars don’t look too much alike I just really dug his car and it motivated me to make my 72 vert with a musclecar vibe. It ended up a hodgepodge with the boss hood and tail-panel blackout, along...

Welcome from NC from a fellow convertible owner. Great car man!

Welcome from NC. 429s are really cool but not nearly as cool as stepping up and doing what you had to do for your family. Glad you found another one; great looking car!

I make it a point not to tell other people what to do with their car and their vision, but I will say that people can make some illogical (or, at least incomplete) decisions around fuel. Not every engine swap is equal in terms of an investment, so if contemplating potential fuel economy one...

I have a GAT suspension in my 72. Been very happy with it. I mostly avoid poly bushings due to their squeaking. There was one place I used poly because of durability but I cannot remember where. I went with the 4.5 standard eye rear leaf springs and they were definitely high at first but...

Pics were worth the wait. Great car brother!
