Really cool old speed parts! I love the vintage Sun tach. Are you only using parts that were manufactured in the 70's for your time capsule project?
Those are intersting adjustable control arms. I bet they are hard to find these days. Are you going to use a 12 bolt rear end?
I'm trying to stay in the 70's as much as I can...Still looking for parts, will be using Cragar ss wheels those are hard to find if you want nos, so may have to purchase some new ones..the motor is a 1970 350 lt1 which was my dads, he had it for over 25 years and passed it to my brother, took me several years to squeeze it out of my brother, it had never been rebuilt just a paper weight basically...only things that will be used from original motor is the steel 1182 crank, block, 186 heads which one is cracked, so purchased a replacement head, and pulleys..Motor specs will match pretty close to the 1970 lt1 corvette
350/370hp...
As for the rear end, yes 12 bolt, still looking for Don Hardy 12 bolt housing, found one in Cali for $$$$ but the owner couldn't prove it was an actual hardy rear end so I passed, now I'm still looking and nothing is surfacing....err
Those are Ansen control arms, quite unique....
