Yeah, i hear ya on ideas floating around. Sux cuz some things can make or break the project.
Have you seen drip rails shaved on a dentside? I think i know where a pic is if you havnt seen one before. I was thinking about doing that too, but i'm probably going to leave mine. He did a great job and it looks good though.
EDIT: Check out scott's shaved drip rails - HERE

I dont remember how i stumbled across that. To my knowledge, i dont think he has a build thread but it shouldnt be that hard of a project. I dont know, I like that look, but at the same time, i like the chrome trim.

I wish my interior looked like that. I hope to get it there or at least close though. Carpet just changes the whole look of the inside to me.

'83/89: I don't recall which years had EFI, which didn't, when some of these engines were introduced....and I'm too lazy to look.
The fact is...I don't give a hoot for anything after 1979.
