It just goes to show--age difference means very little amongst those with shared interests..
And your Fbodies are awesome!

Once again waiting on parts....You would think they would tell you that you need aftermarket clips with the new dash.........

Pro tip: Hit that dash with a heat gun while its kind of sitting in place. Do this 3 or 4 times. Ive had to install way to many of those and its a terrible job(to get it to my standards anyways).
Nice car and good luck with the build. What engine are you putting in? LSX swap? You should build the suspension up too, these cars are amazing with very simple mods:
I almost bought the car in that video stupidly cheap.

Thanks man. It should be done in a few months.
The dash fits very well. We just dont have the extra clips to mount it. The whole interior is going to be brand new.
The motor is nothing crazy just a 350 4 bolt, .30 over, and a little 282/282 cam to go with the 4 speed. Just making it a nice DD.
