Got my new project today.... 1963 Nova WAGON. 
I am piecing together a carbed LQ4/TH400 drivetrain (got 80% of it) and will be looking for a 66'-77' Bronco 9" rear as they bolt right in.

Yeah i'm skipping the slapper bars and going with a Caltracs/mono-leaf spring set-up out back, looks like a stock replacement. The front end will be the one that needs modding as they get the wobbles over 100mph, they are simply not designed for it. I found a very sleeperish front bracing/tubular lower control arm set-up that corrects the issue. I'm gonna run a 235 or 255 M/T ET street and paint them like whitewalls 
to match the fronts.
I also have a set of Wilwood front brakes for it that fit under the stock size wheels
Exhaust will be stock looking shorties, and 2.5" all the way back with a couple mufflers to deaden the sound. PredatorZ already spec'd a sleeper cam for the set-up.

Not around here, most of the dudes out here are into imports and know NOTHING about old school muscle, especially muscle cars from before the muscle era was at its peak.
It still has the v6 badges on the front fenders

YUP with a CCP mini-sub kit painted black. I'll be fabricating my own shorty headers to clear the inner fenders. I'd like to go stock manifolds, but they don't fit.
