Wow the car has come a long way, looks great!
Have you thought about getting a cheep winter beater to save it from the salt and any mishaps that come with rear wheel drive and slick conditions 🙂
I just got a 95 Lumina for $100 to save my car from the salt and any jackass from smashing into me... my bro blew up the engine and I found a virtually new engine with 10,000 miles on it from a wrecked 95 Monte Carlo for $135 from a buddy.
You can probably find something decent now-a-days for $600 is my guess...

thanks!! still working on it, cant find a 78 header panel anywhere!!!! lol., i'm trying my best to keep it away from the salt and stuff but its hard when u dont have a garage or that much $$ to rent storage.. i got a car cover on it.. but i've been looking for a winter beater like a small truck or suv with 4 wheel drive found a few but need work

Other then that just minor stuff atm all the basics. New plugs/plug wires and a newer dist. I Picked up a pair of hooker headers im going to stuff in there this spring, and by that time im sure all have picked up a new edlebrock intake.
