Our customer has owned this car for 10+ years. He has been driving as he purchased it with many ideas floating around in his head. Ten years is a long time to come up with exactly want you want out of your car. On our first visit he knew exactly what he wanted. There was no stone left unturned. The only input I had was the engine build, and suggested the color of yellow. His requests were a hood scoop with turn idicators, changing the interior from green to black, three point seat belts retractable, Boss stripes with 351 in lieu of 302, rear wing, front spoiler, rear window slats, the Mach 1 tailight treatment, and Magnum 500 wheels. He has no intentions of selling this car so he wanted to insure a long term restoration plan. Even though the car was pretty solid it did have some rust on the qtrs and doors. We decided to replace both qtrs with full panels along with both door skins. The rest of the car ws good to go. The car was stipped to bare metal and prepped for the millenium yellow paint.
The 351 engine was upgraded with a Erson roller cam, airgap intake, Holley Carb, Protronix ignition, Ceramic headers, flowmaster mufflers, roller rockers, forgerd 10 to 1 Pistons. The transmisiion was rebuilt with a stall converter. The rear end was also improved with an Auburn soft locker and 3.50 gears. Needless to say the car runs and sounds awesome.
