Yeah, but it's a dry heat...

Well as soon as I finish pulling off the suspension, I'm sending it out for sandblasting, bodywork, and paint. Thankfully it's an AZ car so the only real bodywork is the cancer around where the vinyl roof was.
After that, dropping in a rebuilt 360 with a 727 and hopefully have a really pretty driver. I know it's sacrilege, but it's getting modern radio, alarms, windows and door locks.

You will find most members build their cars here to fit them and what they like. So build it without worry.
