Nice looking car. I like that color choice, too. What are your parts selection plans? I like that you're wanting to drive the car. Good luck!

That's heresy, Andrew!
But I haven't ruled it out.

I get a lot of compliments on the color - very nice color from the day, plus very easy to maintain.

This isn't going to be a top dollar build, so no new frames just a nice coil over setup, a new rear end to handle the power, 4 wheel disks - probably Wilwood, control and trailing arms.

Mine was pulled in 1998 and I never looked back. Sold that hunk of iron around 2009 for $1000 after doing my LS swap (to replace the 502 big block...).

Oh believe me, I know the benefits. I've got a bead on an LS1 from a friend - we shall see.

Got the suspension off the front this weekend, and I'm going to order a Stage 4 kit from UMI with double adjustable Viking coilovers.



Now the clean up of the grunge begins. I'm not sure which is worse - doing this or working under the dash. Not as bad as I expected under here, but still....
