Yours looks great! Get some good pics of her in that scenic island.
 
Slowly coming along maybe as you said, but a beauty for sure!!! Great work..
 
Looks like an awesome project. I love the 72 RR grill.
Heres some pic of the a/c pulleys and brack. This is from a 383 so the little bracket of the front of the pass head is not used with the 440.

Where are the photos of your restoration. I wanna see that purple beast!
 
Thanks everyone for the constant encouragement. She finally fired up and let me tell you a mild 458 HP 440 open header sounds pretty amazing!
 
Well here is where she currently stands. That is my boy cheesing in what he hopes will be his car one day. I ordered the exhaust and the Legendary interior should be here in a couple of weeks. So it will be off Cruising in Aloha hopefully by the end of this month.

Beautiful.........You should be proud! She turned out perfect. The paint, the stripes, the wheels.....that combo looks great! I bet your son will be counting down the days.
 
car looks great! what size of wheels/tires are you running? also do you know the offset?
 
I am running 17 X 9 on back and 17 X 8 on front with no offset. Thanks everyone for the kind words. The exhaust came in today, so looks like I have some work to do. YAY!:icon_bounce:
 
always liked those body styles with those stripes no matter what the color is, but that blue is my favorite choice of color.
 
that looks great!
it is a nice inspiration for others restoring thier cars
keep it up!
 
Beautiful job on your car, looks fantastic!
