I live to modify, create, build, break, fix, enhance. Almost everything I have ever bought has been modified by me to "fix" the problems I see and I enjoy it. I can buy a driver anytime I want to so that hasn't been a problem for years since I started working real jobs, I've fortunate that way. I have built several other cars and never posted a single detail/picture/thread about them over the years, I do it for me, I do it for the thrill. The great thing is whether you agree with me or not you have learned and enjoyed what I have done as I hope others do along the way, that's really the only reason I post online.
This one will probably be leaving the stable and beings that the patina look is in I've chosen to leave the outside alone.....for now. I probably will go through the interior and refresh/repaint when It's inspected and tagged. Under the hood once I had cleaned up everything and bought a new fender liner it only make sense to me that it all look "new", hence stripping/painting the other liner, and shooting the insides of fenders. I have talked with a potential buyer that wants me to leave all the patina and SWB it along with an LS swap but until I see cash I'm happy working along.
