About 20 minutes out of Barrie.
Plans are a 5.9 magnum, working on picking cam and carb. Eventually EQ heads when money allows. Reverse manual 904 going back to an 8 3/4" rear. 3.91 or 4.10 is the plan, depends on which I find a deal on first. Front is bbp discs, rear is still small bolt pattern.

The rear springs are moved in, fuel cell and battery in the trunk. 275/60 15 in rear, something in the 195 range for the front. Overall just a nice street cruiser that may see the track once in awhile.

Thanks to all. Still have a ton of parts to source, missing a lot of interior, bumpers and brackets. Lots of little pieces that need to be located. Few spots on the body need attention. It will never be a perfect car but I'm totally ok with that.

Going to be as low buck as I can and still get a decent cruiser. Junkyards and kijiji should get me most of what I need and help keep costs down.

Mine isn't perfect either but I have it to drive it and enjoy it. We love to see pics so post some now and then if you can.
