When a new acquisition turns out better than you thought.....

As is the case with much of what I do, I have absolutely NO firm plan or schedule here.
This isn't a job where you are expected to be efficient and timely. There is no deadline, just an overall goal.
That goal is for this car to be a stock appearing 4 door that performs a bit better than it did when new but with a few minor upgrades.
I doubt that I'd ever spend the money to add air conditioning.
It will have the reliable 11" front disc,10" rear drum brake system, maybe power boosted.
Stock rate torsion bars and leaf springs but upgraded shocks and sway bars front and rear. Offset UCA bushings and a performance alignment.
I'll use the mild 360 I already have but put a ThermoQuad on it with an actual choke if possible.
Cast iron exhaust manifolds, dual exhaust with generic mufflers, nothing aimed toward ultimate horsepower, just a little rumble.
Steel wheels with plain blackwall tires, maybe even hubcaps if I use a 14" wheel and tire.
This A-500 transmission and a 3.23 SG diff will result in a 2.22 final drive.
I don't mind a few scrapes on the car. In a small way, they are marks of survival like the scars I wear from injuries and surgeries. I have them and I am still here.
