Hi Wayne, Just another opinion, the door and passenger area panels are in pretty poor condition and why you replaced them. Some E body rat dodder might use them but not worth much. The 11 inch drum brakes are definitely worth money to a factory restoration and if I was not in South Carolina I would actually be interested in them. My 70 Challenger has 10.5 drums and somebody has installed discs in the front but did not upgrade the Master Cylinder. The spindle definitely can have the ball joint pin pressed out and would be needed for the drum brakes. Shocks and torsion bars are not keepers, not sure what the torsion bar diameter is but would probably be a bit better than my original 318 bars but the shocks are scrap metal. I agree, definitely keep the 383! My favorite Mopar motor. The package shelf is trash, listen to the wife.
Hey Wayne, thanks for the input...sounds like good advice. I think I will pitch the shocks and package tray. Then put the door panels and brakes up for sale and go from there. Thanks bud!
Dubious advice ' If I'd listened to my wife ' I wouldn't have paid $600 for my old mopar 'and would have let someone else enjoy the approximately $30 '000 increase in value .

If you are keeping the original engine then i would keep all the other original parts incase the car gets restored in the future.
I would get rid of everything. Your garage would be so much nicer without all of it. You or anyone in future will never want them for your car. Gary
thanks Gary!
