Eye Balls and everything else. It is a tad farther along than the pics show. I just finished putting in a 9 inch rear 3:50 gears, all new fuel lines, brake lines, fuel tank front brakes and both F41 sway bars. I also put a fast ratio steering box in. The engine is a 355 with trick flow heads, an air gap intake and hooker super comp headers hooked up to a 350 turbo trans. Lots of work to do. I put the front clip back on to line up panels. I will keep everyone posted as I progress

No low rider here. All about clean and simple lines with nice power and handling. Thats all I need.
