I was debating on whether to start a thread on my (EDIT:THE WIFE'S-I CAUGHT HELL FOR, "MY") resto/build up project for the wife's 65 lv. But, figured it might help a few people and more importantly, help me if someone see's something or recomends something before I am about to do it!!
I've had a good month or 2 of obtaining parts and also determining what I wanted and what I wanted to do. I would say actual working on this rig started approx. 2 weeks ago around 3/15/2005.
I've always kinda considered myself somewhat of a purist, not die-hard, but liked to see things kept mostly stock. I will be deviating from that belief somewhat on this project. Sorry if I offend anyone, but for me what it came down to is I want to use this rig, a lot! I want the stock look, but more power and a nicer ride. So I am building it with some creature comforts in mind.
Mod's in mind:
350 sbc
700R4 auto tranny
Saginaw power steering
parabolic springs
79 disc axles w/ 3.73 ring and pinion
Ididit steering column, tilt, cruise control
Vintage air - A/C
more stuff as I think of it?
I'll start posting pics and if you want me to stop, just let me know. Threads can be deleted anytime.
And of course as always, more pics on my site -
