Quoted: I like it. Interior fits the paint. I would not change a thing unless the previous work it absolute shit. YMMV and all that. Instead of paying a interior guy I'd redirect funds to suspension, wheels, tires, etc. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile It has all new bushings ,disc brakes all around,most of the suspension is updated and new also and the craigers fit it to a tee. |

That's all good and dandy. The paint screams correctly fitted 17's or 18's and quality lowering kit in my opinion. Good wheels and the right springs would really make it pop. .

I wouldn't have guessed that you were this old. HOLY CRAP!! I always figured mid 40s  Cool car  What a fucker! I believed you too, and was surprised.
ETA: That's a really cool car! The interior looks like it was designed by Five Guy's, though.. |

Also, I went back and looked at the interior photo several times trying to like it, I can't, it's awful. |

It's a classic custom, and it would get you plenty of tail just as it is.  |

Most people (at least in my area in the mid 70s) raised the back end a little higher and installed traction bars. |

I prefer a little rake and traction bars too, but that is more of a personal preference that does not detract from what a muscle car should look like. |

I was just reminiscing. I really wanted a 68 or 69 Chevelle back then. |
