So, after looking up and down for the perfect b-body project car to do a semi-pro touring build, I actually end up making a hell of a deal to purchase the 68 GTX from XV Motorsports that they used to prototype/test their level 1 suspension, frame bracing, level 1 brakes, 5.7l hemi carb conversion, etc. additionally, before they send it to me we are doing a Vintage Air kit, 3pt retractable seat belts, billet pedals, billet door locks, and a few other small things. It has a TKO 5spd but eventually I'll do an 6sp auto swap (this is gonna be the wifey's) - redo the interior with Corbeau/Recaro front buckets, custom console, matching rear seat, refaced gauges, etc - redo stripes, add HEMI badging, swap wheels to 18" billet magnum 500s. Overall, I am very happy and I spent much less than if I would have done everything from the beginning myself. Only other thing I'd ever do is possibly stroke the 5.7 to a 392 with ported/polished heads and a mod-man intake with 3x2 carbs. Pics to come when it hits in a couple weeks!
