couple more pics. Got 2 sets of rims on their, Appliance (similar to Cragar's but not around anymore, and the original SSII rims, they don't have the chrome trim rings on em but there is a place in the states where you can get all chrome SSII rims with different paint colors on the inside. I'll probably just go with that in the end.

Thanks guys. I do as much as I can (which ain't always much) and pay the bills . My dad has the same car except convertible so he does alot and I help out where I can. I'm hoping to get the body worked finished and painted by the end of the summer. All the chrome body parts will be done later. The engine, transmission, and exhaust are already done. The interior was fine until I decided to put in the buckets and floor shift so I'll have to redo the seats, find a console in better shape, replace the granny shift steering column. What else...

Rear end in there was a Chev 12 bolt but my Dad stole it and gave me a shit one so now I got 2 other 12 bolts that I bought sitting around waiting to be done, probably go with 3.42 or 3.55 gears. You can also get an overdrive rear-end kit which would practically turn the tranny into a close-ratio 6 speed which then I could even probably goes as high as 4.11 gears and have no problem. - Or get a different transmission.

Engine wise its an Olds Rocket 350. Runs awesome but could use some more performance parts. Olds used the same block for big and small block engines so I can go with big block heads. Ram Air and Edelbrock RPM intake are also tops on the list.

Also going to get disc brakes for it. front atleast, maybe all four.

And maybe eventually:

Power windows
Factory tinted windows
A/C
Cruise control
Thought about getting the '69 spoiler
Got a great deck (couple years old but hardly used; no Ipod, mp3's), great 6x9's but got room for two 10" subs in trunk.

And oh ya, A CB Radio.

you should bring that to the track this summer!

Like I said the rear end is shit. I got either 2.73 or 2.76 highway gears in there now. Top end I've hit 200km/h all thing considering is pretty good but on a track I'd rather wait till I get the new rear end put in. Hopefully the body done by this year, interior done next year, performance stuff year after, chrome exterior parts year after, other options after that. I'm mega in debt so it's still a few years away from being as complete as complete is (which they are never really are).
