Now we're talkin'! That's a sharp car! Love the fat tires on back and the headers. Since this was a low-horse originally and probably came with a single rear upper control arm, did you add the second upper when you installed the 12-bolt?

Being that the car had a 10 bolt; yes it had the single upper control arm. When we installed the 12 bolt we added the other one. Quite easy, the factory holes were already there.

Really cool and an excellent color. How much of the paint is original? Under hood looks great!

I had the car repainted. It had one prior repaint before I purchased it, but it was pretty dull. Here is what the car looked like when I bought it.

It is a original Teal Blue car. The color now is the correct GM color from the factory. We mixed it to specs and sprayed it.
