I do have a question though. Do you plan on doing anything to the car as far as performance. I see u have a few things but really performance I mean.

this car was actually a gift. Personally, I would not have purchased it however it's great for a project car and has grown on me through the last few years... stay tuned for upcoming mods -

I have considered f/i in the past however I soon came to the realization that a s/c or turbo would only take this car to 220 @ 12psi. Building the internals and boosting a crazy amount could get me to a reasonable hp however, early on, I decided to concentrate on appearance instead since the prior route has proven to demonstrate diminishing returns
