My First Resto-Mod (Guidance Appreciated)

CudaChris67 - Are you talking about the cheap flat black paint job? Honestly, I like the color. Im a very bland individual who really doesnt like chrome or other shiny stuff. Actually, Im a novice painter. I do like the flat black look. What do you propose? For the primer, I should blast the car then immediately prime followed by body work (welding panels/patches)? I plan on using minimum, if any body filler. Im all ears on any info. Thanks for what you have put forth already.

Abodybomber - If the 383 checks out good at the machine shop, then I will stick with it for sure.

This build is gonna be real slow. Ill probably have the body done and sitting around waiting for drivetrain. Dont want to leave anyone waiting in suspense.
