cowl hood,modern wheels,tires,big block ,gn rear ,etc....drive it for few years in current paint form then redo the paint with a nice two-tone color combo .hope people will dig the retro vibe for a few years.weather they laugh at it or not at least people will be talking about it ..... ;D

Sounds like a plan. It sure does represent the era. I'd rechrome the bumpers, bits, and grille, leave the paint for a while. Maybe lose the mudflaps, unless you do a lot of dirt road driving.

yep mudflap will go bye bye.will be going to the better looking 81 grille in chrome with headlight bezels,most likely will be adding harwood bumpers . the lighter the better body wise for me .

I've always liked those cars - especially since they seem to be the last ignored rear wheel drive GM cars... light car, light bumpers (aluminum), BBC capable.
I might change tape off the top of the car, shoot the bottom with a bronze or sand color and just drive it like that... call it Foose meets 1991.
Nice score

First thing it needs is a period-correct CD to crank up at cruise nights:
