I agree, I was thinking EFI, and some wheels...the hub caps and whites don't do it for me...maybe a nice spoke or something I duuno.....detail the engine and drive the wee out of it....but I know there are some more adventurous guys/gals out there that would molest the hell out of this thing.

THERE IS A 67(I THINK IT'S A 67 MAYBE 68) with the hidden headlights..
I'd love to get that car.. or the boattail rev.. or 58 caddy thats in hanover.. oh to hit the lotto

Re: what would you do to this...or...how creative are you

I agree .... just drive it. Wheels, tires and whatever else as time and $$$ allow.

Re: what would you do to this...or...how creative are you

finish it and drive it

with a few things to keep me satisfied, wider tires, 8-Track, CB Radio

OK, I'm set now

Re: what would you do to this...or...how creative are you

Yeah, thats the "safe" thing to do..but I was also looking at it thinking this thing would be killer in deep gloss black, with some 20" torque thrusts and laying frame on bags....

I don't like slammed and with big wheels, even if they are Torq Thrusts, but deep black would look great on that

Re: what would you do to this...or...how creative are you

that body doesn't do well in gloss black..
for some reason it just doesn't look right..
no idea why..

How close is this thing chassis wise to an Eldo?
