No I am staying with a 71 front end and rear, long story bud I actually prefer the regular 71 Skylark to the 70 GS Clone I was planning when I started. I found the 71 stuff actually less $ to find so it has worked out really well. I was planning on using a lot of fiberglass parts for the front clip however changed my mind and kept it all steel. If the car is not running as fast as I want I will raise the boost instead of lightening the car.
It is not easy working on this car in the garage here at the house so I am working on getting approval from Leanne to build a big shop with a lift at our little house about 40 min drive away.... Then I could tear into the car without worrying about clearing off her side of the garage for when she gets home from work....
Working 7 days on and 7 days off so I finally have the time to get things done.

I was about to do the final assembly on my good 350 however I realized I need to make one more order to TA before I start. Here I was getting ready to get her together:
I had the top end assembled for a test fit while I was getting the bottom end together.
Don't worry the stock bolts are only in the mains to keep the threads clean. ARP studs are used everywhere.

I mounted the 295/55R15 drag radials on the 15X10 wheels, the front end is sitting high as there is no engine in the bay right now:
