Jeff...Are you doing the assembly of the car or are you paying to have it done? If you are paying, think about paying them twice if you go the non-stock route. You may get it done, decide you want stock afterall, and then you will pay again for the changes. Or vice-versa, if you go stock to begin with.

The X77 I'm doing right now is a flat hood with no spoilers.

My vote is for stock, flat hood and no spoilers. Cowl hood, spoilers and even cross rams have been done to death.

On second thought, Jeff you should convert it to the uber-ultra rare JL8-delete option with 4-wheel drums and a single 2bbl carb on a Cal Custom adapter plate. I will donate my original Cal Custom "surfer's foot" gas pedal to the cause.

Who else is with me here! Lets start donating cheezy 1970's stuff to this project. Who's got the Yosemite Sam "back-off" multi-colored mudflaps and the artificial leather-like steering wheel wrap? How about the bright orange shag carpeting? I'd loan you my original Florida "Arrive Stoned" front license plate but I'm using it at the moment. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I have some killer "ass,grass, or gas" stickers to donate. An old CCR 8 track tape too.
