The 300 will be after paint. I will be doing the bullitt theme with no emblems or stripes.



I already have a 2bbl Holley, but I would upgrade the 300 to a 4bbl.

I'm about half way done with my rear seat delete. Finish it up today and might get some vinyl or black carpet to cover it. It should shave off some weight, but not a lot since it is plywood.

I'll get the pics up in a few. I am doing the terlingua style paint in red and black, unless I go 2 tone which will still be red and black.

I'll take the bumpers off when my parents are at work. Mom hates most of the things I do to the car, and some things my dad doesn't want me doing.

Ditch the front bumper and see what your options are about a race style front apron and if possible go with a fiberglass bumper for the rear painted to match the car.
