I hear you all on the project creep. I started out with a 16k mile car that all I was going to do was swap the stock 229 V6 automatic for my big block & Muncie 4 speed. I figured that would require a better rear & a clutch. The minor engine freshening turned into fully ported heads & intake, oversized valves, full roller cam. The rear end upgrade turned into a full suspension, adjustable shocks & 4 wheel disc brakes. Then the new Year One N90 17" wheels came out & I HAD to have them. Then I found an NOS carpet. That led to restoring some of the interior plastic parts & new bucket seats, which meant all the seats just HAD to be reupholstered to match each other and the rest of the interior. Still need paint, carb, exhaust, cooling system. Who knows how that will morph...
