jghanks,
I'll be rebuilding the front end suspension in the next month or so. I'll try and do a tutorial with pics even though it's pretty obvious. I know anyone that has one of these cars is going to have to do this at some point. All the front end stuff on my car is original. So I could cry about the posts or I could bask in the fact it's a one owner made in Janesfield. I love it regardless, it's the front end and rear that set it off for me. Coming from working on and messing with performance Japanese cars and other foreign nightmares how simple this girl goes together is so elegant with lots of soul.
Here is a young kid building a 327, they have a lot less going on that modern motors.

So I guess it just depends on how much stuff you guys want me to cover on my build. Any of the members here do build threads? I know that's big on car message boards, taking creamy hi res pics of all the progress. Any who, if you guys have any mechanical questions feel free to PM me. I'm sure I'll return the favor by asking a million questions about subtle details you guys can tell me from watching the show. I mean after all I stumbled across this thread trying to figure out how the interior was done, with the tone of tan not being a factory color. Then finding out it was spray dye, which makes life easier considering my interior is fine other than being 60s powder blue. Any of you guys that have already done the conversion with your sports sedan, any way I could get some good interior shots? I've notices how the chrome trim is different on the post model. How the interior of the sports sedan has a chrome plated liner on the edges where as mine is some kind of fabric liner. Trying to figure out if the interior lines are the same where I could just buy sport sedan trip and bolt it up or if this will be one of those moments I call in favors for custom metal trim.
Thanks for any details and being such friendly people.
