Have you heard of Herb Adam’s? He was a GM engineering wizard who developed the 70-81 F body suspension packages.
As well as competing himself he wrote loads of books & tech articles on chassis engineering & development, worth checking out some of his wisdom on the interweb before you invest...
That looks amazing!
No corrosion, can't see any dents, let alone accident damage.
You could prep & paint that shell in a week!
I can't wait to see how this pans out & a factory 4fourspeed from what I can see.👌
Agree entirely………. decent long lasting body repair is a hard thing to master, installing mechanical parts is far easier to get right first time.
I hope if you’re allowed you can post some progress up on here? It’s still an F bomb after all!😎
Haha I almost knew after you’d posted the news it wasn’t gonna get pirated for parts that it was gonna be the lead project……. & for what it’s worth I’m with you all the way, wise choice 👌👌
It's a shame you must let it go, but the real world does get in the way.
You could start with a description of the car, maybe the VIN & body tag, plus some pix.
As for values, I can't help much as I'm in England, but I'm sure the good members here can guide you. 👍
Bloody hell, that’s some problem!
Start by eliminating components, whip the starter off & power it up with jumper cables while it’s lying on the garage floor & watch it closely.
It’s possible that the solenoid has failed internal insulation or switching; after operation, it takes a few seconds...
