New bushes, tie rod ends, wheel bearings, grease points , new brake lines, brake cylinders and hoses.
All towards the roadworthy :)

Yeah 327 at the moment, 4 speed muncie with a 10 bolt posi. This will do for for a couple of years, but plan a big block, 5 speed tremic and 9" diff
The old 327 is a good runner

By the way as you can see from the photo the fibreglass bonnet is not sitting properly. Anyone tell how to straighten / adjust fibreglass

Get it how you want it with clamps or whatever and add heat... :p

Fibreglass isn't very flexible so be very carefull.. personally i'd just leave it and not risk cracking the bonnet or paint, it looks alright as is. Just get bonnet pins put up along the edges :p

I don't mind the 9" myself, but the thought of putting one on my Chev just makes me cringe :)
