Looks like we are on the same page.

I am kinda hoping "Skip" jumps on this one and sends it to Mike Copeland at Arrington Performance. It's exactly what he needs in his life right now.

Lose the fog lights but leave the exterior green, repair rust where needed but blend into the original paint. Repop or repair trim as needed and it needs a new black vinyl top but I'd delete the SE badges AND PUT A BLACK INTERIOR IN IT!

Unbolt the front fenders and remove the VIN tag/fill holes and the make everything in the engine compartment and the firewall like new with the new powerplant. And I might consider replacing the radiator overflow jug...

A Scat Pack 6.4L's 485hp/475lbft would move this thing down the road nicely with a matching TREMEC 6-speed!
