Default 76 project progress...

All suspension and brake work completed. New recored rad and full tune up also completed. New gas tank and sending unit. Rallye wheels and new BF Goodrich T/A's , 235/70 on front, 255/70 on rear. Pulled original radio and ordered a Custom Audio unit with Infinity speakers. Moving it later today for trans swap and exhaust.

Well we can't seem to get a good pedal so looks like a new booster/master cylinder . Also the washer motor is dead so will be replacing that. Good news is that the trans is ok after fluid swap and good cleaning.

My tech friend loaned me a dealer plate from his business so was able to drive my car for the first time. Put about 20 miles on it with zero issues. It is now undergoing an exhaust swap from the stock set up to duals with Flowmaster mufflers. I will be picking it up next Tuesday and have an appointment for Wednesday to have the sound system installed.

On the road. I put about 200 flawless miles on it yesterday in 95 degree heat . Both city and highway. And the crowd cheered...
