One real nice thing you have going for you there is no rust. Rust damage is the worst thing to deal with when rebuilding or restoring a car.

I added the factory gt500 hood to my 350. Had no idea how much different the two were! After a few long weeks I love it

Sorry about the trans, but great to see you got the car done!

How was putting it back together? Any major issues?

Thanks, it was pretty straightforward the only real issue I had was the oem aluminum fenders quality is rather poor and when reassembling it felt like they where aftermarket. I had to keep adjusting them to fit proper with the hood headlights and front bumper. Which all the parts I used where new oem.
