I will keep you posted as I do things. I have had nothing but positive remarks so far. Many folks say the front looks like a period Malibu & the rear reminds them of a period Monte. I like this size car the best. Not too small, not too big. And V8 power fits nicely. I was reading the big block threads & decided I didn't want to go that route. I think a mild warmed over 360 will be pleanty & offer the best combo of ride, handling, power, economy, ease to work on. I do want to drive it. It wont be a show queen, but I hope to make it nice. BTW yours looks pretty darn good too! I like that color on yours!
