You decide on what is going in it? Got an S Trim laying around if you want to step it up a notch.

v6 is gone and 351W is stripped to bare block, it is in excellent condition so looking forward to getting machine work done.
Dash and steering column are sitting in my garage and I will be tearing in to the factory harness on wednesday to start getting rid of all the stuff I no longer need. Gonna be a dedicated track car that passes the "LA inspection"
so to be able to drive on street once in great while.

The entire interior is out as well as all the wiring harness except headlight and turn signal pigtails and brake lights. Bout to start scraping the sound deadening materials out of the car that are baked on from the factory.
As soon as that is done and NICK has TIME. I will be dropping it off to him for a 10 point cage, thru-floor sub-frame connectors, and mini tubs and anti-roll bar and coil over upper mount bar. Hopefully he is available soon. Will also be having the torque boxes welded and reinforced.
