Here are some pictures of the new 351/383 roller engine going in it for the turbo setup. And a few shots of the new paint job.

The final assembly of the car has begun so i'll update with some new pictures as i go along.

The interior is 99% completed. I need to clean some things up, zip tie some wiring and paint a couple of rear seat belt bezels i forgot that are still red. The engine and turbo setup will be going in next week and i'm hoping to fire it up within the next three weeks if all goes well. (by June 3rd hopefully)
