You guys are all correct... its really too track oriented. I just keep seeing a car that cries out for some work to make it a whole lot more streetable and a hell of a fun dual purpose car just needs to lean more towards the street than it does now.

I do wonder how streetable the motor is on 93 octane pump gas. The headers have heater boxes, they're just not hooked up to anything.

Back dating the heat so no blowers is not all that hard but its going to take some more parts.
Its also going to need a bit more mellow exhaust / muffler
Rain hats for the Webers
Return the Webers
Strip the current interior including removing some of sections of the roll bar, rendering it fairly useless.
Dynomat the inerior.
Build a rear seat delete box.
Trim and Carpet
Seats
Replace the rear quarter windows with glass
Maybe redo the headliner
Remove as much of the striping and graphics as possible
Strip the wheels or replace them ( I have a set of Lindsey 17's and another on the way)

Yes its a lot of work and parts and time but in the end it might be a heck of a hot rod. Surely if it was more steeetable it would have a much broad appeal in the market.
