What type of driving do you want to do with it?

Looks like a great starter.

I'd like to do a fairly "budget" build focus on braking, chassis, suspension components first, as far as driving, I live in NW Arkansas so the tracks are slim around these parts,

If it were mine? Head/Cam LS swap, 6 speed manual, then focus on suspension/braking. Looks like fun, hoping to get my dad's 69z done someday.

Funny you say that, cuz if got a 70 nova as well with Heads and cammed LS1 and a 6 speed, with a Strange 9 inch, 4 linked 4:30's, it's super fun, but I want this one to be Much more!!!!

That is a nice project Charles. Have you seen Lenny's black Firebird on here? Its called Foul Play. Very nice car.

Also, have you seen Budniks Road wheel G series wheels? I like the ones below.
