    So, merry Christmas to me I guess. Nice car, real solid, just ugly. I like to think I'm saving the car from some 90's era iden***y crisis. Wife is already hounding me to sell, no room in the garage. I would LOVE to g***er-ize this ****er! It's a dark rootbeer metallic and silver. Interesting color. Anyway, what the hell should I do with this thing? I just couldn't p*** it up!

    Lot's of possibilities. I'd be drivin it and thinking on the remodel a lot. It'll come to you. Most of the 90's stuff will sell for a pretty penny on the 'Bay. Just show pictures in the car for the ads.

    What's under the hood? What ****** and rear? Does the suspension work and how are the brakes? If it's already been all sorted out, I'd go slow (not car speed) and figure out the do.

    Mostly I'd have fun driving it around as a grocery getter until the ideas flow :)

    It has a 350/350 out of a Nova. Runs great. Everything was totally redone about 10 years ago, but it's been sitting alot. So, I'll drive it. I have some nice 20-inch billet wheels I can put on it and throw it on Ebay! :D

    Those words should never be used in that order and sure as hell not around these parts!!! Nice score anyway, drive the wheels off it, looks a bit too clean to cut up too much imho.
     
  9. I'd put some torque thrusts or similar on it and drive the bejeezus out of it! I think the steering wheel would have to go too.......

    Nice car! I'd loose the mullet steering wheel and seats 1st off. You could do the ball joint spacer trick with Torq Thrusts all the way around and have a g***er look in a weekend.

    I agree with some others on here, replace the wheels and steering wheel with something more from the 50's 60's 70's era and enjoy it. It kinda reminded me of the Black Widow at first glance.

    You could leave the stuff on it, get a mullett and go retro.
    People would be falling over themselves to "help" you.

    If it were mine?

    Change the brown to black, Cragar SS wheels, throw a bench seat with some tuck and roll on it and drive the hell out of it.

    Oh yeah, and a new steering wheel.

    cool car!

    Black 15''steel wheels (w/no hubcaps), proper bench seat, dark tinted gl***, Bagged, & channeled. Everything else I'd leave alone.
