Did you say you have a 460 in your Mav.....we might have to chat.......

Lots of work, but it all has to start somewhere. Good luck with it.

Not a 460 but a 351 Q Code Cleveland stroked to 393 cubes

Also thanks for the kind words about my project

Taking a overall accessment of the project before me....

Many,many fixes too be done..............almost dont know where to start....

My father cut out the back half of the floor and entire trunk....he built the blue frame.....his plan was to install the frame and re tin the floor and trunk...I like the frame...it is built well and would work,but I dont like the idea of all the sheetmetal work....what I want to do is graft in a floor and trunk from a donor car, but here in Minnesota there are no floors worth messing with...........this Is the first hurdle to overcome........

in order to get the car off the trailer I had to unlock this brake....never have seen such a rusty rotor in my life....got it loose...now to get it off the trailer so I can get my donor car ....

super sonic mav · 2012-05-19, 21:15

got my donor car today.....it will provide the floor and some other structural parts....

the car was from Nevada....the floor is in great shape.....now to start the cutting phase....

I don't know how much you are going to use, but keep in mind how the seatbelts mount on your 76, they go into the rockers, if you are planning on using stock belts.

Yes I plan on using the stock belts....I will have pictures to help locate all of the belts...good tip.Thanks.....
