Nice, I've always liked those cars. Love the classic dual gate/lightning rod shifters too.

just a suggestion, as I learned the hard way, but the BRP headers only work when you use the BRP motor mounts. If you use a different set of mounts, then the headers may not fit. there si another fellow, a few in fact, that make motor mounts that will allow you to just use stock fbody headers and they work fine. If you want the info, pm me, I'll get you the info.
