My dad and I are fixing it for me to learn how to. (Because I am a lucky bastard)

The engine (231 Buick)
More agressive cam
High compression pistons
New four barrel intake manifold
Edlebrock carburator
Chromed 100 amp alternator
And duel "Cherry Bombs"

Body

Brushed, scraped, and undercoated all rust on the underside and parts of the body and interior.
The doors were the worst part of the entire car, the bottom area of both the doors were pretty much gone from rust. Fiberglass and wood fixed that.
We are getting a new Cowl Induction hood to replace this one.

Two questions, what do you think and what should we paint it?

years ago i had a Vega GT, alum slot wheels, nice wide tires, 4 speed, with that crappy 4 cyl. alum. engine. Body was excellent as was interior, i wish i would have kept it and dropped a small block into it, was to dumb and young then to care tho.
