Default New Project - 76 T/A - NEED IDEAS!

I have agreed to resto-mod a 76 T/A with t-tops and a 400 engine. The car is being shipped to me now. The owner wants to make it fresh...unique, fast, and fun.

I have only seen pics on the web. He is paying about $11K for it shipped. He realizes it may have serious rot and hidden damage. However, on face value it has nice black paint and buck skin interior, including the t/a treatment and shaker hood.

So....if you had one, what would you do?

Big wheels....of course.

However, this is the first 2nd gen F body I have ever gotten involved with and don't even know who the players are...where to get stuff...what's hot...and not on these bad boys.

After the car gets here I will go over the immediate structural/retoration items, then talk to the owner about his "vision" for the car and intended use. From that point we can dream it up. I believe I have him sold on some sort of forced induction and an overdrive. That's about it for now.

Thoughts...comments...links...hot birds you have seen??????
