1978 century build

[Clutch]

I took it apart because the frame was bad. I am going 15 inch wheels with stock buick hub caps.

Are you leaving the interior alone? I would all stock if you do tack and gauges be creative and hide them or use something GM like old cop car gauges it's so sweet don't make any tell tail sines oh and it's not ugly it's a different kind of classy with a really bad additud!

I have a five window gauge cluster out of a turbo regal. Plan to modify clock to a tach setup and the turbo light to be my shift light. I plan to use auto meter gauges with the factory dash faces. Will it work, don't know but will try. Interior staying totally stock, just refreshed.

Looks like upgrading engine before I put it back together. A nice fresh rebuilt 67 gs 400 motor .30 over, dual quad, ta 212 cam and long tube headers. Just putting bolts in to see what I need before I assemble it all.

Quick update. Delayed as visiting car shows recently. I got the Ta Performance dual exhaust with some dynomax mufflers. Got some wildwood front brakes and installing the 90 Chevy caprice brake booster and master cylinder and 93 jeep steering shaft. I have to massage my headers a little to make them fit. I got a hi torque starter. Going to keep putting parts on frame with hope of putting body on frame next weekend.

glad you're still making progress on this, and looking forward to seeing more!

btw, are you able to keep that intake hidden under the hood, or is the sleeper look evolving?

Still looks like it can all fit under the hood. Really don't want it to evolve from beyond a sleeper if I can help it.

Thanks and hope to get photos this weekend.

Need to get new bushings as busing set I have is not correct.
