Project '72 Update #9... it runs!
Made a huge step today. Actually moved the car around the driveway under its own power. What a great feeling that is after all this time. I still have a lot to do as this just wasnt an engine swap, but a complete rebulid and refab of everything. I wanted so badly to rip up the street, but I havent got it aligned yet and my wheels are pointing in every direction. The front suspension height is close, but the rears will have to be taken apart and moved up a spline or two. In these photos the bumpers are just hanging on and not properly fitted yet, and im not going to bother until all the alignment/ride heights are done. Much easier to get on and off a lift without them on.
Enjoy!

Nice! Hood vent is radical. I can't wait to see it with the stance all dialed in. That green makes guards red look staid

If you get that baby running as good as she looks, you're definitely going to tear up some roads!
I only hope I can have my baby looking that good... someday...

Seriously nice looking car! Even if it only goes as far as the end of the driveway
Plus a '72 has got to be one of the best cars around for that sort of project
