Beautiful car. I'm not in the market but almost wish I was. The pace cars are my favorite non chrome bumper cars.
EXCELLENT and best wishes

Rear break hardlines
Did you keep the original rear calipers? Did you have issues getting the hardlines from the calipers to match-up on the soft linez in the trailing arms? Mine dont match up.
thank you in advance

Yes, I'm still running the Delco rear calipers, I don't remember any issues with getting them to line up. We may have had to do minor bending, but nothing that required enough thinking to make an impact in my memory.

Just noticed the torque curve on that...excellent!
Cars outta my $ range but man...is that sharp. Love the Pace Cars and silver interior.

In October or so of 2000, I was commuting in the car on one of the local freeways. A rod knock developed and lasted about 30 seconds before the motor popped. It windowed the block around #7. A Goodwrench 350 replaced the original engine and I replaced the GW350 with the current 400.
