Welcome to the board, Matt73. It looks like you have a very nice car. When you said you'd eventually like to street rod it, were you refering to putting a larger, built engine under the hood or going farther than that? Either way, I'm sure it's a blast to drive now and it'll be even cooler when you get a chance to do some more work to it. I bought my '73 for cheap, so I've been taking my time to resto-mod it to my likings. It was mostly complete when I got it, but I've stripped it down to just a shell and am starting from there to build a well-rounded street car. (or at least I hope so) A built '73 340 steel crank engine will give the power, while a built 727 and the original 8 3/4" rear will lay all that power to the ground, thanks to some 3.55 gears. Anyways, have fun with it and I hope you enjoy the site.
