After further inspection of the car, I have decided to tear it down and completely redo everything. It currently has a 350 with a th 350 Transmission, unknown rear end gears. Interior is in total dismay. Planning on stripping it down to its shell. I need to replace both rear quarter panels and rear taillight panel. Floors look to be good but I will know better when the interior is out. Planning on a 454 with a th 400 looking for a 3.73 or 4.11 posi rear end. Thinking about cloning it to a Z28. Here are some pictures of it in its present state.





Here are a couple of pictures of the motor I built for it.


Here is a picture of my youngest son sitting on the motor.

I will post more pictures as progress is made.

 

Looks like a nice project. I love following threads like this...just as long as you show us every detail if your project. haha Jeep us informed!

That master cylinder looks real bad. Oh well...as I would say just another opportunity for new parts!

 

Who just paints the rear seats/interior.

 

Yeah i know that is the way it was when i picked it up. that will all be changed out when the time comes. It will all be gutted and redone in the orriginal red.

 

Me too

I prefer the 78 dash to the one in my 80.

 

thats what im looking for there. I love the dash in the 78. No progress on the car as of yet but I will be out working on it today Hope to get more of it tore apart.

 

Nice to finally see a progress thread, nice to see it in a garage lol.

 

Hey I post on my progect thread every week or so. LOL Damn balancer is kickin my but right now. Just got an A/C delete box I'm gonna put in soon.

Thats a big ole boy ya got there. Happy too. My youngest is a tank, he will be pushin big brother around pretty soon. If your going to clone it as a 78 z, they don't make repop emblems yet. If you find any, you are the man. I just saw a NOS one go for 130 on ebay. Another 80 on the rear one. They do make 80-81 for some gawd awful reason.

 

I like your carb, but that type of gas isn't high octane!

 

LOL Hah.
