Newbie here! 73 dusty

Hey everyone, just wanted to say hi and introduce my car...Its a 73 /6, well was. I got that pulled and getting the 360 prepped to go in. The car had been ran into the ground over the past couple years and I finally got ahold of it and am bringing it back to life!

I created an album with the pics of the car in its current state but have no idea how to post them.
I picked up the schumacher engine mount kit so far, and some headers I am supposed to go check out tomorrow. If all goes well I will have the engine bay painted and the 360 popped in place late this week. Then the body work...and the stripping of the spray paint job...hah

thanks for the welcome everyone! I am gonna try to get the 360 put in today. Plan is to make it drivable for the next few months then rip everything apart to do all the body work, etc.
I havent really found much suspension wise and have only delt with fixing up VW's in the past. What i did find were hotchkis rear leafs. Is that a good start? I'm not making a drag car by all means. Just a toy that hopefully wont feel like the boat it is now. Its pretty bad turning and it feels like the car is gonna roll over!
