1975 Restoration Complete (Pics)
I posted some pictures about 2 weeks ago of my restoration and it is now complete with the car on the road. This forum helped me with choosing the right parts to installation since I did all the work myself. Thanks for a great forum, I didnt post much but using search I found almost everything I needed.
Final Specs of the car:
- GM Performance ZZ4 engine
- VBP Performance Plus Suspension
- Entire undercarriage painted in POR15
- New Paint (Dupont ChromaPremeir)
- New Interior (Carpet, dash, I used dye for most of the interior pieces so didnt have to buy new ones)
- Torque Thrust 2.1 Rims
Here are some pictures of the final product!

I put Torque Thrust 2.1 17x8 rims with 4 inches of backspacing and went with a 255/17/50 tire. I didnt have to relocate the parking brake bracket but I still might anyways just to make sure. I have about 1 inch from the tire to the bracket and it doesnt look like it will hit but if it does that would be bad, so i might fire up the welder this weekend and move them to the top.
