That era of GM vehicles have got to be some of the best looking cars ever made, and yours is enviably straight. Nice car!
My plan is to get her mechanically right, and drive her just as she is for the time being. I'm really not sure if I want to leave the original paint and just work with what's there, or go the full restoration route. Seems like driving a "survivor" would seem fitting, but all I know is that I WILL NOT primer black the thing and do a "rat rod". I hate those. People that would take a car like mine and rattle can it flat black, paint the rims red, and put skulls all over it should be drawn and quartered. Just sayin
