Default New Project(67 Firebird)

67 Firebird org, 326 4 speed car, Currently has a 455 Turbo 350 trans. No it's not a HO motor.
I traded a buddy my 78 transam race car minus motor for this car. This car comes complete with a extra rearend w/posi 3.55. The only thing is i need to swap out the motor in the car with a rebuilt 400 he has, and put the 455 in the racecar for him.
This Car will be a daily driver!! I'm done with race cars(just for know, don't tell my wife)
The plan
After motors are swapped and car is running again. It will get a power brake booster, then Vintage air cond kit.
Then drive it, Alot.
Start collecting parts for the build up, Save and spend, save and spend so on, and s on.
complete 90-93 latemodel FI 350, overdrive auto. then rebuild to 383 w/very mild hyd-roller.
DSE front control arms, 12inch brakes, I'm only going to run 16inch wheels, to keep tire cost down. I plan to put about 12000 or more mile a year on this car.
DSE sway bar and springs in the front.
Custom/Home built Truck arm in the rear. However I have been eyeballing the DSE QUADRA LINK KIT, 1500.00 isn't a bad price. Again 12 inch rear disk Brakes.
For the body well you can see in the picture that it has a vinyl top, enough said right. it's not really really bad, just bad. This will take up most of my time for the next year. I have taken some body shop classes, so I know just enough to get myself in a lot of trouble. Plan right know is to paint it dark green with black Vinyl top. sorry i just like that look. Wheels I'm not sure. Maybe steel pontiac ralleys in 16inch, I think someone makes them. or maybe a something like a 92 iroc wheel.
For the inside I'm going to build a custom Dash and shifter consol. Late model reclineing sits in cloth. Nice sound system nothing over the top.
I also want to figure out how to put a 25 gallon fuel tank in it and still have a spare tire. My dad lives about 10 hrs away in Nevada and i plan to drive there a few times a year.
I dream of having twin turbos, Please don't tell my wife
