Nah no butchering at all. All we plan on doing is putting a nice set of 15" keystones on it just for car shows.
So far we have had some problems. We where doing brake stands on day (good way to make sure an older cars brakes can take some abuse) and we blew out the main back line (had a nice size rust hole through it) so we went to the autoparts store and $15 later we fixed it. Brakes still are a little mushy, I think it's the master cylinder which will be cheap and easy.
The ignition switch is bad too. Turn the key but it doesn't shut off. But thats a cheap fix. Plus the high beam indicator light burnt out. We did replace the dimmer switch which helps out alot. (the old one was corroded so bad it wouldn't even click)
Another problem is the tranny pan gasket leaks pretty bad. 2 quarts in a week.
The only other thing we might do is put some headers and some nice exhaust.
She runs great now
