I remember these days well, i graduated high school in 1980.........
Fenderwell headers were a must on big block A-Bodies in the lat '70s early '80s.
Tint the rear side windows and back glass and apply speed equipment decals all over them to fill them up.
Jack up the back end with air shocks and install 12'' shackles and chrome traction bars with M-50 14s on slotted E.T. wheels front and rear.
Dress up the engine with M/T polished aluminum valve covers with T-Handle hold downs, yellow plug wires with cheap chrome towers to hold them up, Accel Super Coil, Holley 750 double pumper carb with Weiand triangle air cleaner, fiberglass flex fan, rattle can the engine compartment with semi gloss black, and the aforementioned fenderwell headers painted white, and for good measure, add all of the chrome doodads available like master cylinder cover and a chrome water neck on the Edelbrock Tarantula intake manifold.
Hood won't close?
Then just cut a hole in it and install a snorkle scoop or leave it off all together............
In the interior, install cheap vinyl tuck and roll right over top of the original upholstery and door panels.
Then put fun fur on the package tray and glue some more to the dash pad where the Sun Super Tach is screwed to.
Install some cheap aftermarket gauges under the dash and remove the original radio and hack the dash to install the new 8 track player in it's place or mount it under the dash with some cheap speakers in the door panels or kick panels and the pioneer 6X9s sit in slanted boxes on the package tray not bolted down.
Get a 3 spoke steering wheel with a foam or metal flake cover to replace the ugly factory wheel.
Don't forget the 2'' exhaust tubing roll bar and the upper windshield tinted visor that says Plymouth or Direct Connection on it.
If you've got lots of money, you could go all out on the body and flare the fender wells and apply a 3 tone paint job to it and add a mural or pinstriping all over the car and put a name on the quarter panel like " UDUST81" (your handle).
