Im going to hold off a bit til I get the tub finished, Then I'd like to disemble the test car keep or part out its various bits and make room to spread out for an engine build. Be about 8 months or so yet. As for the 1500 that's in my bondo buggy, (Mind you I bought this car for $600 with most of the reciepts.)

Not ball for $600. A few hundred out of my own pocket and it's become quite a resonable dailey Driver. Not looking bad either. I'd keep it but the Body was an inappropriatally repaired PA Car and is being held together with varios pieces of metal rivets and bondo, While my 76 Tub is nearly rust free.
