Another Friggin' Newb! (with a 67 Le Mans)

[5hundo]

Hey people!

I just wanted to jump in and say "Hey". I've had this car for a few months now. It was traded to me as part of a Real estate deal that I made. It's a 67 Le Mans coupe with a 455. Here are a few pics of the body, which is fairly straight and rust free, with the exception of a little surface stuff:









Now, for some engine pics. As I said it's a 455 but the bad news is that it's a 455 Olds. The engine was just balanced and blueprinted a couple years ago and the car has had very few miles since it was installed, as it overheats and leaks tranny fluid. I haven't really had a good opportunity to spend a weekend on the car, which I think would really help. I did buy an electric fan and some other odds and ends, though and I might throw them in this weekend. I'll let you know if I make any progress. In the meantime, here are those pics:





Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm really trying to figure out what to do with this thing. I could turn it into a GTO clone, I could take all the markings off of it and keep people guessing, I could make it a really nice looking Le Mans, etc. Some fresh ideas would be fantastic.

Thanks for looking!
