New addition

Well next week we're picking up a 77 aspen se with a small block auto. its black, been repainted once, has a 1 pc rear spoiler and burandy interior. It's been in the garage for probably 10-20 years i would imagine. I've never seen the car but its my dads highschool buddy thats sellin it to us. Im hopin to make this my cruiser so we'll see how much i like it (hope there isnt any rust)... im not too fond of the small quarter windows though. I'll post some pics once i put it on my trailer.

Well it doesn't run right now so i will get it running. It will probably need an extensive detail and im hoping the paint is in good condition so i'll give it that. possibly lower it some and depending on what wheels and tires it has i may put something else on it like maybe some magnum gt wheels lol (same as a supercoupe but only 7" wide) soo basically just clean it up and get it running right now.

the plans for the aspen are as follows:
Put big quarter windows in it
R/T clone with superpak package
rebuilt stock 360 to produce around 400whp
swap a 8.25 with 3.21 into it
lower it 3-3.5" front and 2" rear
magnum gt wheels (same as supercoupe but only 7" wide instead of 8")
put stage 2 shift kit in the 727
repaint black
put buckets in it and reupholster them to burgandy
redo headliner
redo door panels
replace cracked dash pad
full custom exhaust with shorty headers

the maybe list:
stereo system
cut/tuck/mold bumpers
custom rear roll pan to take place of bumper
200s "coke bottle" style AR wheels (17x9, 17x8)
