tires i already ordered from costco (best price i found for bfg t/a's, mounted, balanced, installed and filled with nitrogen). ignition is all new, no clutch-auto with a quarter stick and manual/auto valve body, brakes coming (disc conversion back, front dont know yet). and at the nats i was talking to a couple running a 78 t/a, they had the stock rear suspension and everything and they were running low 11's/high 10's with only caltracs. (been doing it for 4 years now with a 496cu in engine) and my rear suspension is good and new for the most part, just gotta work on the front suspension now.
my interior needs some work though-its a lil rough around the edges so to speak
body-one bad fender, some minor paint/decal issues-eventually gonna make it look like an all out '77 instead of the frankenstein-'77-'80 it is now
its gonna be a good project
