Re: !969 panel originaly grandfathers

truck runs great. I had just rebuilt the 454 that was put in in 1975 . Problem is I built it to suit grandfathers likes. basically stock. Something I almost never do. Plus the three on the tree has to go. Looking to go with 4 spd auto w/2200 to 2500 stall converter.
As for engine I have set of aluminum heads,new 270 duration cam, edelbrock air gap perforomer rpm intake and 750 carb for it already. Just need to get some total seal rings,gaskets,roller rockers, 1 7/8 headers and new msd ignition then Ill have engine covered. the tranny is big hold up right now. I could do just motor but would rather do whoe drivetrain at one time. Plus figure if I do engine it will just delay the frame off restoration.
Ive already started the interior part working on fiberglass console. Plus surpose to lok at a set of seat out of cadilac i found on craigs list this weekend.
