    Definitely EFI it, will make it far more drivable for someone who probably won't drive it a ton. That said, there are lots of options like a crate motor, OD trans, etc.

    Nice starting point. Although I would have gotten this one http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/cto/5412752392.html
    Now go crazy.. Roadster Shop or Art Morrison full frame swap with IRS.

    I would keep the interior somewhat stock, except Recaro seats with oem seat pattern.  PW,  Cruise, etc.

    Have heard nothing but great things about the hotchkis kit. I'm in the middle of installing it on mine. Really depends if you want to stay with torsion bars or not.

    You should come down some time.  Lots going on at the shop.  I did purchase a 71 challenger convertible.  It has a 318 in it and it the cleanest 71 on the planet.........I almost feel guilty taking it apart!

    I am down near Olympia and you are welcome to come by. Unfortunately I just took a new job which has me traveling quite a lot at the moment. I should be home Memorial Day week if you are interested. A member from Australia will be around on the 2nd and 3rd helping me color sand the car. PM me if this is something you are interested in doing. If not we can figure something else out later.

    Nice car and I'm sure it will turn out nice. I am a major fan of resto mods, but I really hate to see clean cars used for that purpose. Really don't understand why some guys don't buy a basket case if they want to change it like that. :2cents:

    Because then you have all the cost, time, and effort of the repairs of the basket case on top of all the cost, time, and effort of the mods.

    Cool, I'll have to check with the boss [wife] if we have any plans. I may be able to get away for a day trip.
    I'll PM next week if I can make it down. Been watching a lot of very cool projects including yours and would love to see one up close. The work you guys do blows my mind. Very inspiring!  :2thumbs:
    I hope you don't mind lots of questions. Just starting the tear down of our Father Son Project 69 fastback Barracuda.
