hey thanks for all the input guys. right now my plans for it are to fix up all the sheet metal, theres a few minor dents and dings here and there that will be easy to fix and then there is rust on both lower quarters that will need to be addressed. i intend to use the same paint they used back then and am thinking of keeping the two tone look with the ivory paint top and a dominion blue for the rest. as this car will be one that i would like to hang on to rather than just build it and sell it like some do i will build it my way so am planning on an engine/trans swap. possibly a 383/turbo 727 combo. the rest of the car will be stock. i will probably leave the interior stock except for possibly the front seats and also add a stereo and some speakers but nothing crazy, i want it to rumble and bumble or atleast have a nice even deep tone, not a loud bump and thud of speakers. im uploading another pic of it and hopefully this time it works
