What would be the "ideal" finished build for you car??Mine would have a good quality paint job that was a factory paint scheme. I would probably keep my same wheels as well. If I went aftermarket, it would be something classic like Cragars. The farthest I would stray would be Weld Prostars or something like that. I think the new style of puting larger rims on and lowering the car looks good, but it's just not my style. I will keep all my parts for the era the car was built. The interior would be just like it is......original down to the AM/FM radio. I would just add a tach on the steering column where it's not real noticeable. I would have a well built big block for it (428CJ) with a 4 speed. Nothing sounds like a big block . I would do some suspension upgrades, but nothing that requires cutting the car. I would lose potential for good track times by keping it like that, but track times aren't my goal. I would put the Shelby springs on the front, like what I have now, to give it that good stance.

body work most definatly get rid of those pesky rust spots. then do a full blown suspension over haul, i plan to keep the original set up.
Now for the engine i want a 347 with edlebrock victor jr ford heads with valve size 2.05 and 1.60, some kind of cam. i would turn my c4 in to a six speed c4 with a gear vendors under/overdrive unit. it would then get some nos an a rebuilt rear end. the interior will stay the same except for the cracked dash an needed door pannels an all th wireing redon, an have a six disk cd changer with an am/fm radio. then get it panted midnight metalic blue with black pin stripes. |
