What would you do, no this isn't ABC!
Paint AND Performance at the same time are for people who are millionaires. Work on one or the other first, while enjoying the car, then do the other and continue driving it.
This is what my '74 looked like when I drove it in 2006. Underneath the ugly as sin primer, and mismatched wheels were a built 340, Full manual 727, and a 4.10 Sure Grip 8.75" I embarrassed many weedwacker drivers that year :D
A year later (The red one, I later bought the gold one from my dad, which was his first car) Swapped the 4.10 Sure Grip chunk for a 3.23 Sure Grip Chunk
Drove that baby without 340 stripes, until 2011, when I tore it down to start the 6-71 Blown 340 Build/Project (I miss driving it, still working on the car). If I had it to do over, I would have driven the car up until I had all the parts on hand, and the new engine built. Instead I took it off the road, tore it apart and went from there.
