I would like to add my project to your site. Hopeful we can help eac other out. I’ve been a member at tc for a few years and have my car there also, but would like to support your site with my build journey. A little update my first car. Bought from my uncle. Not new by far or original as to some things others I believe are body wise and some interior. My goal has been to put it together as original as it would have came (not number matching). I now as for the car. I’ve learned a lot about it as how I thought it came like that I was far off. 10 bolt, th350 were two. Well I tracked down a 69 12 bolt rear in Oregon, but it’s for a 350.(don’t care close as I’m gonna get). Got a th400 from my cousin but not sure what it’s from till we pull it from his c10. Side track. I found it interesting when I looked up my 10 it was from a 69 Chevelle and all my suspension, drums up front all original bolting like my body was replaced, but my body bushings and bolt were original. The body has 396ss stuff. Ok back to the build. Tomorrow after a good garage cleaning. I hope to run new brake lines, front to rear and as many of the front lines work front the drum brake line kit to disk. ( after redoing my front drums and buying a drum line kit I found a set of original 69 disk setup. Spindle, shield, rotors, calipers, brake booster, and m/c.). Now I get to learn disk. Yay. Had brake booster redo the booster and m/c. They did a fantastic job. This week I also hope to powder coat my front and rear springs, dust shield, some brackets and maybe a few other things. Well hope you enjoy. Thanks
