Let me know what you guys think still a ways to go... this is my first real expience with bodywork/welding... pointers and tips would be awesome.... i just cut the templates for behind the headlights today. I need to cut them in metal and weld them in place soon as well as seam seal and bondo it smooth. There is some surface rust on the backs of the pannels i frogot to primer them i think ill just sandblast the back side to be safe and get the rust off.... here is tons of pics.

WOW. Your car is going to look and sound even better than I though. I cant wait to see it completed. I am getting Rick91 GT to help me with cleaning up my engine bay too. I will take b4 and aft picks soon.
#1 Clean up the custom welded strut tower brace.
#2 Weld plates like you are doing for a cleaner look but I am painting it same color as body.
#3 Eventually get some real meat behind my HP with some nice 315's.

if you need an extra hand im only a phone call and a few hours away if you still have my #...
this stuff is annoying and since i have really no idea what im doing im unsure how its going to turn out...
NA you are going the right direction Adam. Your car already looks awesome. Plus your setup in terms of engine sounds KILLER. I will tell you I got a little greedy. My 306 setup with the 390 gears was SWEET. It ran great, sounded awesome, reliable, fast .. I don't know why I needed more. Don't get too caught up. At one point in time I was going to sell this 414 and go for even more..for what!? More expense, down-time or blown head gaskets or aggravation and there will always be some1 faster ALWAYS. We need to enjoy what we have. I look at your car and say to myself, I would like to have that car. I will give u my new cell, the other one is toast.
edit: let me add IIRC I hit 290rwhp on that block with a roughly .500 lift cam, trick flows, track heat and shorties.. AND cats. Sound like you will do better tho. If I remember it has very little miles on it too. Its been a while lol. It could take nitrous with a good tune as well. Jus tmake sure you get a good tune.
