Coming to you for advice...
Hi Connor,
Only joined MMA a week ago but already seen what you are up to and have to say how impressed I am...
You have definately started at the deep end... I bought my Mopar 13 years ago and still haven't got round to sorting it out yet... Did do an engine swap but that is nothing compared to what you have taken on...
I have a fancy to rebuild my ride this coming winter, subject to the money and time, so will probably be coming to you for advice if that's OK? It's a B-Body as well, a 70 roadrunner. Not a numbers matching or anything exotic like that though.
Still haven't really decided how to pitch the rebuild, I want to modify it with uprated stuff but the wife wants it kept standard... What way are you going with your rebuild?
We are not that far apart, I am in Sevenoaks, so maybe I'll see you around?
All the best and keep on with the work, it's going to be great! The fun I get from driving my Mopar beats driving the wifes SL500 and my own Jag XJR hands down...

Yeah been meaning to bring it up for a while but progress has been slow with us just having a loft conversion done so most of the time is spent doing that.
The rotisserie has come in handy as we have the job of taking the underseal off the chassie. The bulk of it is off its now up to the point of going over it with the wire wheel. We have also taken off the rear axel and springs aswell as the front suspension, the only thing left on the car now is the K frame. We have started work cleaning up the heater unit and we have sent off all the parts for shot blasting these have all come back and look great. These have now been painted black and our next job is to put it all back together. We have had the footbrake and pedal assembly cleaned and powder coated and we are very pleased with the way they look.
We have started to clean the dash and the dash frame itself has been shot blasted and primed. Today i cleaned up the switch mounting plate striped of the switches and cleaned them up. The mounting plate has now been painted black
Jules has sold me a new set of locks and keys which we picked up at Brooklands and the keys havent been out of my hands since lol.
I will sort out some picts in the next few days, as a picture says a thousand words.
