History

Taken a few years to get it where it is - possibly a 355/383 stroker in the future but want to keep it to its Holden origins.

Factory paint aside a few touch ups I've done. (Alabaster White)
Indigo blue single tone velvet interior.
Drive line / suspension is from a VK BT1 -- worked 304 / built trimatic / 3k converter / etc.
Basic freshen up on the motor (see the mods section)
End goal for this car is to be a comfortable cruiser with a little get-up-and-go.

Next lot of things to be done:
- Doors closed respray + pinstripes.
- AC re-installed.
