My Caprice Rebuilding Pt. 1

I'm new to the forum and i need some help in re building my 1985 chevy caprice sedan.

here is a list of the things i have done:

305 Shortblock engine and trans

and All dings and dents taken out

(it runs great)

Things i want to do :

Change the interior

Personalize it
(wood grain the dash, and the gear shift)
(Change the Grille)
(Raise it 3ins.)
(add my custom A/V System)




If there is Anybody that can help me with any of those things please let me know

p.s. The Paint is going to be last (it is still being made)

454!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I thought about putting a 454 SS Big Block In it, but at the time being where gas prices are so high and i don't have time to drop one in there i might just leave the 305 in until my 24 or 25th b-day
