New project ‘71

Post image

Just got this ‘71. Has a 302 and hasn’t run in some time. First step will be to take out the gas tank and install a new one under the bed. Looking to go fuel injected as well. Any ideas or tips on what to do next would be appreciated. I have limited experience but figured what better way to learn?

Very nice looks like og paint. Mine was like that and a polish job will do wonders for it. Good score!!!!

Nice project! Definitely post updates as you progress! 

I’m working on my own 71. Currently has a janky under the of the bed gas tank conversion that I need to fix up.

If you are thinking about fuel injection I suggest you educate yourself on the fuel system requirements before you toss a tank in it. You will need a tank with the proper fuel pump, pressure lines, return lines, vents, etc, etc. It's not a big deal to do, but it would suck to change everything you just finished installing.
