Default 79 Firebird Resto-Mod

Since i am building a new motor i decided it was time to upgrade/change a few things. I will be repainting my car at Work in either red or black (still undecided) as i am not happy with it currently.
Exterior:
Straighten out the doors as well as the fender gaps. I plan on replacing the hood, hinges, windshield, gas tank and drivers door glass. I am going to upgrade to a Posi rear end, 3" true dual exhaust, and full suspension. I am also planning a 77 Bumper and and 77 LED Tailights along with the sheet metal i need to convert it. I also plan on going with 6000 HIDS and running all 4 lights at once.
Interior:
I am stripping it and i will be fixing the cracks in the dash as well as center console, the seats are going to get reupholstered, Aftermarket Gauges, Yearone Door Panels and all the interior panels and trim are getting redone. The sail panels are getting replaced completely.
Engine Bay:
With the 400 motor and trans going to be rebuilt i am going to tidy it up. I plan on fabricating an engine bay cover to hide all the accesories (radiator, A/C etc....) The Engine bay will also be getting a repaint.

Currently i have the old 350 motor and trans out and sold, gas tank got scrapped and the exhaust i cut in half. The interior is now fully out, and i have started working on the dash.









Shades of red im considering



Im making a custom radio mount/faceplate, also waiting for the padded dash filler to get here so i can finish fixing the cracks. These are the gauges im going to go with. http://www.ebay.com/itm/70-81-Firebi...item519cf94e0f
