well i talked to the owner a few days ago of my suprise, i gotta pay for it and pick it up yet... im sure u guys were expecting more but its just a 78 newport with another running 400 in it, it has some rot and isnt nearly as clean as my 74 was but itll work, but its missing the front bumper and front drivers fender, so im gonnna try to rig on my fender off of the 74 to put on it and ill be using my preran flat bumper from the 74 as well... so my shocker builds will continue... hope to go get it next weekend

got the motor and tranny out last night, the way it sounds this is gonna get set in a preran 67 newport that one of my buddys got that im gonna help him build, itll be his first car so i thought id let him run the motor so we dont have to put a chevy in it, ill probly do a build thread on that car too ........ today we finished gutting the car, got everything out and now it sits in the weeds waiting to get hauled to scrap, gotta take tires and rims off of that yet tho, will get some sub frame pics hopefully tho before it gets hauled off ........ plans now are to get my 78 for next year, and also im trying to find a car for a derby not to far away... i dont wanna run a fullsize car there, they are having a midsize heat which is a original 4 banger with no wheel base limit, and there having a 80 and newer v6 class with no wheelbase limit, and there having a truck heat, so im looking for any of those three that i can get real cheap and fast as that derby is only on the 14th so it would have to be a real quick build.... ill let u all know if i get one
