Doing a complete ground up rebuild of my 78. I've had it since I was 15, now going on 41 so it's time to do something crazy. I've completely disassembled the car, have had all the parts dipped and stripped.The rear quarters were completely gone from a hack repair done at a body shop when I first got the car, but I was able to track down NOS left and right full rear quarters!! Now I'm building an entire frame, putting 96 Corvette suspension in the front and rear, and a 502 Ram Jet under the hood. It looks like I'm going to be able to fit some 305/35/18's on the back, and 255/40/17's on the front. I'll post pics as soon as I can. Love to read all the stories on here and see what others have done! Hope I can get some good advice, I've done resto's, but this is my first mod.
