The fun is about to begin.
Engine from the Shaker?
No, this is the short block from Tulsa with the heads and cam from the stroker.
That was in Toms stash.
The curse of the "first available flat surface" 
.
I used the hood of the BA409 car to sort out the suspension parts for the '62 Biscayne

Tom and James,
Let me know clearance from the carbs to the bottom of a factory hood
when you get that far.
I remember being told when I got my M/T that low profile air cleaners will fit.
I have a M/T to install on my 409 stroker motor in my blue 62 SS 409 Hardtop and I would like to keep
the stock hood.

Good to see the Shaker back to work. 
Got a chance to catch up with Tom today. 
Had to try some shiny bits on for size.
Then I thought I would lend a hand on the front spring install but was a little short on tools and time, maybe next week.

Got the borrowed diff back together and fixing to install it in the housing that came out of the Shaker.
Good deal when you can just shuffle parts around.

Just saw this post. The rear end is coming together faster than the front suspension .
Time to reorient my priorities?

And find your tool and some space. 
Wow I am getting old, it's been some time since I last made any progress on the '62 Biscayne project 
.
I did add a set of Mike's disk brakes on the front and messed around on the interior a bit. Still a long way to go. Spent some time end of year thinking of priorities and this one has to make the list. Here's a shot of the left side as I install the door panels and hardware:
Still need to glue those little Belair inserts onto the panels. While it's a Biscayne model, the interior is mainly Belair patterns. I went with the Biscayne door handles and such thought. Kind of a mixture of pieces from that era:
Hope to have more updates as I kick things in gear for 2022.
Cheers! TomK

Stopped at Tom's yesterday as he had called for some help with the rear trailing arm bushing install.
All was good after some reciprocating press action.
