I thought that I would add some pictures of my BB convertible restoration. I installed a 496 for some extra punch but I have my original numbers matching BB on a stand in my garage. I kept the original trans and rear in the car. I have not had time to work on it much but I installed the NOS window sweeps also I just finished the wiper motor and AC box. I am trying to make some time soon to try to finish up.

Thanks for all the compliments. This project has been a long time coming as it got shoved on the back burner. Sometimes it is hard to get restarted back on a project when it has set so long. I got to do a little work on her tonight.
I still need to paint the grille but I wanted to see how it was going to look.
