What it needs:
There are two bolt inserts in the fiberglas front hood (one on each hinge)that have popped loose and need to be re-done. Possibly add a stock fiberglas luggage tub, a lighter-colored headliner, add a stock engine screen modified to fit around the dogbone style air cleaner, install & calibrate a stock 0-260F water temp gauge, and add ss lower water pipes (only ones on car not currently stainless!) Install Euro-type round front side-marker lights & rear reflectors, install a frt & rear chassis brace system & steel adjustable upper bay-brace, add a 2-1/2 lb halon fire extinguisher, and add big aftermarket brake rotors & calipers of your choice, to match the traction from the giant tires.
To be done by new owner:
Verify the 10-qt oil pan is the desirable baffled type verify the existence of alleged stroker engine (pull the oil pan to verify existance of baffles; then crank, rods & piston types will all be identifiable). verify the ZF ring gear bolts have been safety wired, verify distributor drive gear is double-pinned
Included with car, but not installed:
new radio antenna- drill hole in location of choice
