KCW killed that car when they shaved the front headlights, fog lights, and taillights. You can see the build thread on their website.

Saw the thread and yes too much for my taste on the all the lights. But I like the look of a slammed car, always have.

This is my opinion but that thing is ugly. It's your razor but please don't go down that road.

A mild lowering like how my notch is and hang on to those rare stock brake parts when you do the disc brake upgrade would be awesome. If you ever decide to make it a 1500club car then it would be a piece of cake to go correct. BYI restoration means you are returning everything to how it came from the factory. Resto-custom is what I think you have in mind for that car.

I don't plan to go this extreme... But I'm gonna keep all the OG parts, just incase I want to go back to OG. I have sometime, I like to plan things out. I'll see what I have and what I will need and go from there. I do want to drive it, so a something with more power is a must.

Take that OG motor with all the hard to find bits and put it in a safe place, then get a 2L bus motor, bump the CR up a little, and put a cam in it, dual 40IDF's or FI and you'll have a awesome driver that will be super reliable and will run nice and cool.

Buddy Hale built that car. It is a nice one for sure! I have to find a video of Bill doing a burn out in it. I love the squirter's Buddy put on the rear to do burn outs.

I wonder if Eliot knows he is in that video from the classic. You can see his feet 49 seconds in, and then you see a shot of him later.
