I have many plans for it but mainly i want to make it look original with replacement parts, for example put a stock radio in it. I just want to keep it simple. Any suggestions on what all i should do and what should i do first? I was planning on using all edelbrock under the hood. Is that good?

Next I would do anything to bring it to stock except the stock radio. ;D
