I taught myself how to weld repairing the trunk and interior floor, but
together with my friend Bill (a better welder than me) we installed new
rear quarter skins on both sides, and removed a sunroof that did not
belong on this car. The body and interior is mostly stock with the exception
of the Harwood fiberglass hood.The power comes from a 350 C.I. bored .030 over with TRW forged dome top pistons and a .501 lift hydraulic cam. Attached to it is a turbo 350 with a 2400-rpm stall converter and shift kit. On top I put a Weiand Stealth intake with a 750 Holly duel feed delivering the fuel, and a MSD 6AL to light the fuse. I sent the 202 heads to B&M Machine in Conn. where they were shaved, ported, polished, and stainless steel valves with a 3 angle grind, brunell guides, hardened seats, duel springs and 1.6 aluminum roller rockers installed. Dynamax Jet Hot headers connect to the 2 ½" Flowmaster exhaust system with 2 chamber mufflers. The 12 bolt posi was upgraded from 3:32's to 3:73's and all new axle bearings. I did most of the work myself, but my friends Bill and Bob were there when I needed help. The vinyl top, seats, and headliner were installed by Fred Carello, and Dave from Buttonwoods Citco did the Rear end.  continued...
