I know, and I've been enjoying it that way. But, it's been a couple seasons since I've had a nice looking hot rod together. It won't take much for me to make it pretty so as soon as her subie is out of the garage this one will most likely be getting a makeover

Hit the swap meet at stafford speedway yesterday. Picked up a couple things, along with some other stuff I already had floating around, and a couple other tires I snagged today.
Here's a sneak peek of things to come:

And while I was playing musical wheels I tossed on the 275/60/15's et streets from the 68.

Hooked mint, got about 10ft of wheelspin from popping the clutch with them dead cold. Then I got the rest of first and most of second before I realized it was clutch and not tires spinning. Oops, lol. Time to price out a spec...

Honestly, It's just been a lot of careful internet shopping and scrounging for the best deals I can find.
Only really expensive part was the wheels/tires, they cost me as much as the car did originally lol.

Haven't updated this in a while as I haven't done much to it. Been too busy with work.
But anyhow, since I tossed a quick pic up elsewhere figured I may as well add it here too

One of the stock Bose speakers took a crap and I didn't feel like finding an original. As with everything else stuff snowballs and we wound up replacing all 4 speakers, rewiring the car to eliminate the Bose amps (factory Bose speakers are 1 ohm, aftermarkets are 2 ohm so everything sounded like doody until the Bose amps were gone. Trust me, that one took some head scratching lol).
Then, well, we like our bass lol. Stock sub had to go. Looked at stealth stuff but for the extra money decided they weren't worth it and did this:

I was going to make a cover to hide it all but we decided it looks to cool. Plus it's all lower end stuff that doesn't totally scream steal me but it still sounds really good
