So here it is... original 210 with some Bel Air trim on it. 350/350, original rebuilt rear, drop spindles and springs in front- drop leafs and blocks in back. Lots of new stuff, gas tank, full wiring harness, gauges... still in work, I need to get at the body and interior pretty soon. She's a driver, sees a lot of road time plus I throw it in a show every once in a while. NO air bags, I drive it with the downpipes an inch and a half off the ground. It's Kansas and I don't touch down to hard to often:)

Thanks for the comments. It's about to get taken off the road for the second time this winter. I'm just about finished rewiring the car, that was the first. Now I got everything ordered to rebuild the front end. I'm chasing a vibration at the moment. I'll have all the tires rebalanced while I got the front off. I have an open diff and I get in the loud pedal a bit much... I need to check my pinion angle too. I got the car so low it my be off. I'm planning on picking up the front a bit, my exhausts are an inch and a half off the ground under the frame horns.
