And the 68-69 hood scoops to finish it off???....
The popper, Stock? Add on? I need more info😀

On the drive back from MMA this morning Natasha leaned back into the pillow cushioned seats, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the vibrations. But, I will concede that open exhaust is her limit... our garage is detached and 50' from the house (she always knows where to find me).

The plan is to eventually put NACA ducts in the hood to feed the air filter.
I am unsure if the popper was available in 1980, but this gate isn't original to this car... so it was definitely an option.
It was an option for all years that the coupes/sedans could of had the trunk release. I even think the wagons even used the popper as them, the glove box button was the same.

Yes, I have the glass popper in mine. Wired it up to the remote start/alarm system
Had to google what NACA ducts were. Never knew those scoops had a name...I'd like to one day do this mod.
I like your 3rd brake light add on. These cars need them.
3.5 hours to clean, fit, and install a mile of trim. FML. Used a bit of 3M double sided molding tape inside the channel to help keep it from flying off.
Fun fact: I believe that wagons have different outer A-pillar trim than sedans. It seems that on a wagon the long trim piece slides into the A-pillar piece, where sedans have an inner bracket to connect at the rail. So I chopped down the wagon's long trim to suit with a Dremel... and wouldn't ya know it was a different length left to right?
Typical G-body drunken build tolerances I guess.

In the middle of redoing the front suspension right now with 5664 springs (.767" wire dia) from 5660s (.730" wire dia), and Proforged tall upper and lower ball joints.
The benefits are pretty clearly explained here:

I also added steering angle limiters to keep the wheels from rubbing on the fender liners are full lock.
I should point out that between the soft springs, lack of negative camber (static and gain), and the stupid wide wheels/tires - the fender liners have taken a total sh*t kicking from rubbing in just a few months of use. Hopefully the added spring rate and ball joints help resolve this... if not I will revisit my choice in shocks.
