Thanks for all the info guys, it really helps. I'm going to try and not get too carried away with this car like I did with the Camaro. I just want to make it a nice "driver" with killer paint and a nice simple suspension set up. I may just go with aftermarket control arms, lowered rear leafs and rack& pinion set up.

I'm also thinking about deleting the heater system all together since it will be cruising in good weather only. I hate to say it, but I never use the heat or a/c in the Camaro or T/A..

I have decided to paint it blk for sure..

You live in Austin and you never use the AC? WOW You must not drive in the summer time. I believe you but that dosent make sence to me. I love Austin, I lived there for 1 year, but the summers are hot. Anyway very cool project. I bet you most of us started our projects saying we weren't going to get to carried away, but they have a tendancy to escalate. a fried of mine has a orange boss 302 he just bought at an auction. They are beautiful cars. I like how the stripes are reflective and look almost white at night.

Good to see you finally got one you wanted!!! Good luck with the project, it will obviously be more than enviable in the end.

Wow.... I cant believe I just found this thread now. We are building a '69 Convertible G-Machine for a customer now. We've had it in our possesion for 1 month now and our client just called and increased the budget by 25k. So I had to redesign the car and add alot of great things that werent originally called out in the design. Its in the demolition stages now and as soon as the new design rendering is completed, I'll post it. I'll be interesting to see exactly how similar they will be because the '69 is a rare breed.

Dang, SW, you sure do make it hard to build something cool in Austin! How can mortals compete with this? That's alright, I think the car is gonna rock. Can't wait to see it!

I'm liking the clean theme SW. Black is going to look great and with the FM5's and the right stance it's not really going to need much more!
Can't wait to see her.

I think if you go with Black, you need the black centers in the wheels.

71NOVA, I plan on driving it in the evenings and during nice weather only. If I can't stand it, I can always add Vintage air later.

Here are some pictures from this afternoon. The last picture is of a '70 at the my bodyshop guys place. I'm thinking about shaving the drip rails like on this car, what do you guys think? It's off to the bodyshop in the AM..
