I ended up making the car badgeless, i only had one and it looks way clean.
All the interior is origional, i had to get vynal paint and i changed the color of trim and door panels... seat covers, dash, carpet, headliner all new. I also have a 3 spoke wood grain steering wheel.
the following are pictures i periodicly took over a period of 4 years working on it
car completely sanded and some primed
this is right after i had stripped all interior and rear quarter pannels.
these are the new quarter panels i welded on each side. they actually fit very well.
I also had to fit the old gas cap cover into the new fenders.
new pannels being fitted.
and this is the car now.
I eventually want to stroke the 350 out to a 383 and do a small twin turbo setup on it.
thanks for lookin everyone and please tell me what ya think!
