When my father gave me this car about 3 weeks ago it has been sitting for many years and in dire need of some love and attention.  I have been working on the engine bay with clean up on the motor and surroundings.  Here is a before and after.  All I have left now is the assembly and get her wired up and fired up!

Been sitting for 17 years.
Been in family for 35 years.
Originally a 383 but went 440 35 years ago.

Originally a burnt orange interior car. Don't think I will go that way. I like the white much better. Since she is not a matching number she will be an RT tribute build.

Going through all mechanical and making her a driver first.  Next will be interior work and detailing.  There are dash lights missing and the clock is dead. Already did ampmeter bypass.

Looks good! Did you pull it off with the engine in place?

Thanks for all the kind words. Here is the current status. Waiting for booster and master cylinder, super close to taking her for a drive finally.
