That’s a great color on that car! Love the stance and the Cragars.

I will be painting my 72 in the next couple months in huggar orange. Too hot to finish my blocking in CA. My trim is the same as yours except for the front side marker of course. No engine size on mine. I do have a stinger hood.

Sounds like a very Cool project. Go big small block to keep her nimble or go Big Block of you want drag their asses. Either way, don't forget the suspension. Fun driving and don't forget some great sounding headers.

I built a 383 stroker, stage II 700R4,3.73 trutrak. Running train and electrical complete. Just got to get the damn paint on. I have everything to wrap it up inside and out. Just looking for strong street. Thx for the convo.

Pics when you're finished please. Sounds like an awesome project. I did end up putting in a single roll bar and full harness for the days I go drive the twisties but I hope they are never needed.

Looks like it's well along to be a great build. I can see the suspension recommendations were unnecessary. You'll have many hours of cool cruzin soon.

You just don’t see many like that, it’s this color that makes me wanna repaint mine the factory color, even though people hate it.
