I bought my 71 in Wyoming about 1997, it had been sitting for a while but only had ~60k on it. Factory air, 402, leaf springs, and buckets. I started pulling off a few parts to clean them, pretty soon everything in front of the firewall was rebuilt, repainted or replaced except the sheet metal. Bored the big block, put in Edelbrock cam, intake, and carb. Replaced a bunch of suspension parts but left it stock height. Redid all the interior at that time. I was almost done when I got divorced, had to hurry up and get it back together, then it became a daily driver for a while. After that it sat outside neglected for about 10 years. Two years ago I pulled it in my shop and started tearing it apart. That lasted about a month, I got sidetracked with a few other projects, and it got buried. Over the holidays I cleaned the shop and started on it again.
These pics are about a year after the first build, not long after someone ran into it.
