Thanks for the comments and feedback, let me try to answer some of these questions.

That is certainly side exhaust. While at the shop the exhaust guy suggested that I put side exit. I was a little unsure at first but I think they came out pretty good looking. Plus he said it would be easy to chop the tips off and relocate the exhaust out the rear it I chose so.
The body was done poorly before I received it. The body needs to be redone and repainted again someday, so all of the emblems with the exception of the G/P on the front fenders are in a box.
Currently the engine is the stock 389 4bbl, I wouldn't be against upgrading to Tri-Power but I'm not sure the steps that I'd need to do to get there.

Yep, 4 non-power drums. What an adventure trying to stop the car at highways speed, very easy to lock up. I tried looking into a front power disc conversion kit last summer but had no luck. Every company I tried did not make an application for a 64 Grand Prix.
As far as lowering it, doesn’t look that high in person. The rear tires are barely tucked into the fender. Compared to how it looked in the first pic. I would go over a bump and the rear would bounce up and down for days. A side shot before it was replaced the rear end sat a lot lower than the front. I have replaced all the springs and shocks, that with the combination of the new wheels the car sits higher overall. The fronts have plenty of room. The rear on the other hand you can barely get and index finger between the tire and the molding on the wheel well.

Do you know where I could get a 2 inch lowering spring or would the old heat the springs and sit on the front end lowering be the answer? =D

It has a 4 speed, very fun to drive.

I spend most of my time wrestling on what to do next, (interior, engine, body) When I make a decision I then start wrestling on finding a reputable business.
(Anyone know of good shops that can do some of that work north of the Boston Area?) This being my 1st restoration project, I'm learning as I go. These older cars are more interesting to work with. (I'm 27). Most importantly is that it just does not take months but years to complete in some cases, and that I need to do more research than I ever thought before. Another fun thing is that I've met a lot of nice people at Car Shows/Meets, always get asked questions at the gas station, or anywhere im parked, and thumbs up while driving. It's nice to hear people reminisce about how when they were younger they had a (insert car here), it puts a smile on there face. I'm sure when this project is completed that I will find something else that I would like to drive and start the process all over again.

Thanks, again for the feedback.
