    more less throwing up some before and after pictures of it. bought it as a rolling chassis w/o engine or trans. got it home and installed a 250/C4 from a '77 parts car of mine and had it driving in no time.

    car was originally a 250/auto car w/o p/s or a/c, and has drum brakes so i put the engine/trans back in pretty much the way it came factory. i may end up adding power steering to it in the future but im not too worried about it right now.

    here's some pics of it when i looked at it and when i got it home...
