Thanks for those how-to picks Modge! What you did to the leading edge of your grille mount was awesome and I will certainly be duplicating what you did!
That is a SBC 350, and the only thing I plan on doing to it, other than cleaning it up and a spiffy paint job, is an Edelbrock performer intake and carb, and different valve covers. I also want to get those Camaro headers that some guys around here use, hopefully one of them can shoot me the part number, I think they get them from Summit but I am uncertain.
The guy I got it from was told it has 20k miles on a crate engine, there are some indicators that it has been rebuilt (silicon gasket over squeeze in some spots, ect...) but I am still contemplating new oil gaskets for the pan and the valve covers.

Yeah that control panel came from the 85. It was originally mounted with off-set screws from the outside of the dash going in. I dont want any screw heads showing on my dash, so I had to fab up a backing plate to weld inside my dash so I could mount the screws for it from the back. Maybe if the screws had been symmetrical I might have compromised and just thrown it on there, but this was better I think.
This weekend should be finishing up everything on the floor (except my tranny hump door) filling unused holes and such. Test mounting my seat and seeing what I need to mod to get that so it is solid and comfortable.
You know, stuff like that....
