[AMC-List] my 62 classic project



i really appriciate all the help everyone on the list has given me. however, some of the people who are offering help have missed some of the eppisodes of my project. here is the break down....
  304, ported heads, edelbrock proflow fuel injection, headers, duel exauhst is in the plans for the motor. t5 with a stage 2 centerforce clutch for tranny/clutch. open drive shaft with an amc 20 rear. get away with the torque tube. i have got a new triangulated 4 link for the rear. have 1 of 2 ways to go with the rear springs tho. either go with coil over shocks, build a cross brace to mount them to.. or leave stock springs, siffer rate, cut about 1.5" out of the ride height. front suspension, poly bushings, adjustable shocks, stiffer springs.  i liked franks rack and pinnion set up. contemplating that now. sway bars front and rear. anyway. there it is for the drivetrain and suspension. old car, little more modern, fun driving car, hoping for fuel economy to be able to drive often, if not every day if i feel like. interior, retain stock seats, may  have to modify center of the 50/50 bench to clear a mustang tailshafted t5 so the seats slide far enough forward to make the
 bed. have a new head unit with cd player mounted under the dash, stock am radio still works. retained it. will be recovered inside with light blue and white vynil. cant afford leather. body... it is ford oxford white, will have light blue trim painted on it. trying to go with some 17" nostalgic looking rims. no real changes in the body. brakes, try the mustang II disks upfront that i have been told will fit on the spindles with minor work. machine up mounts to put ford 8.8 disk kit i found on the rear. 
   
  overall, a car that should be fun to drive, and when i want to take it to the road cours and throw it around, it should handle it fairly well.
   
  thank you to everyone who has pitched in words of advice and all. you all have been very helpful. as alot of you have read, i am in iraq right now. making a few extra bucks right now, and got the money now, so im trying to get the parts now while i can, if i wait till i get home, it will never happen. i am relying on all the advice i have gotten on here to get stuff that will work. and when the project is done, i will have all of you on the amc-list to thank. i think it will be a fun driving car.
