    That looks perfect! Thanks.

    Is it hard to wire in an aftermarket stereo in these cars? I assume I'd just need to lengthen the wires, and leave the AM in place?

    Thanks so much guys! I kind of looked at some 2 doors for a project for myself (V8-powered) but couldnt find any solid ones/not enough money (college)

    Little background of the car. Bought it in 2007 with 62k Original miles on it and it looked like this-

    I own a 2 door, had a 4 door 302 20 years ago and loved the car. Your car looks sweet just like it is. My 4 door was great for light to light and I remember many times waiting for the poor soul to pull up to the next light with the look of amazement on his face :) stock 302 with headers and small 4bbl was all she had.

    OH and it was red, rustoleum red painted with a wagner power sprayer :thumbs2: didn't look too bad at night, in the rain....from 20 feet

    You did an amazing job of converting the interior over to black. (y)
