A restomod would be a really cool build. Slap in a 5-speed Tremec TKX/6-speed Tremec Magnum or do the ZF8HP70 8-speed auto swap behind a turbo Pontiac or turbo/supercharged LS.

It can be a little nerve racking sending a car to blasting, but it's exciting at the same time. I look at it as a chance to fix everything the right way all at once, which is something not everyone gets to do with their cars.
I've been floating around the idea of throwing a used LSA supercharger on it, but idk yet. I'd love to do an 8HP70.

What was happening at the roof quarter lead seam ?
Is this going to be a Brewster Green tribute ?
I would take it out of the comfort zone with color .... tribute to a 1972 TA special paint car etc ....
Red , Black, Adriatic Blue and Silver are known so far

I was quite ambitious back then. Still the same ambition now, but a little bit better skill set lol
The driver quarter was replaced at some point way back in the day. The passenger side is original, hence the puzzle pieces I placed everywhere. Not pictured on the passenger side is a 70-73 Camaro trunk drop-off that I cobbled together. That's a real beauty.
The car won't be white again. I'm going with blue, but not a factory color. I've settled on Indigo Blue off a 2020 Dodge Challenger.
