Thoughts
Of course first thing I got to do is take her down and see how bad she is underneath. She doesn't look too bad from what I can see. Got the doors off, got the hood off, and starting to tear into her. Hoping to get the front and off in the next week.
My thoughts ......... She has an old 460 in her that has got to go. Never had much success with those with out spending lots of money. Thinking about a creat 302 with some extras. Total suspension change out, add power steering, four wheel disc brakes, and the list goes on !!!
I will get some pictures up as soon as I can...... I am WAY excited !!!
