Also, I've made a couple of decisions on what I would and would not do, given the chance. First, I would not try for a GTO clone. I may use a GTO hood for the intake scoops, and that they look awesome, but that's about it. No GTO badges. No badges at all, probably.
I'd likely convert from the carb'd 350/auto to an LSx/T56 (the one I already have!
).
I'm still very much undecided on where I'd go with the paint scheme, though...
