Those before pictures sure are scary. What are the plans? All stock body or?

Looks ten times better already. Don't think it's going all the way back. That rear bumper is from an 82.

I think if you filled in the big headlight holes and used some recessed projector headlights (maybe in the grille if legal) it would be a cool look without being too weird. Joe

Problem with lights in the grille is they don't light up the road well and are illegal (there are minimum heights)...
Something I think would look cool would be fixed projector lights in the stock openings and then covered by a clear lid.

Dude, I give you a ton of credit. I thought my 1970 chassis replacement was a big job!!!
So far so good. Its starting to look like a Corvette again instead of a Volare-Monza!

Yes I am keeping the air scoops on the pillars they look good in person. I plan to paint it black with 3 sets of silver metal flake stripes. with a tan interior
