I do know what you mean, actually, I havent done anything to permanently modify the car, the interior is still all original(still in good shape), it still has factory a/c and power steering, and the paint is actually just a tiny shade off of an original color that was offered in 73. I went with the 1990 version basically, because it was a clearcoat style paint. No holes cut for big ol' gages or anything like that.
The engine compartment isnt extreme at all. I put away the big air cleaner and whatnot of coarse, but its still a chevy 350 with most of the original brackets and whatnot. engine is still orange, but with aluminum heads and intake.
The car could be a daily driver if I wanted, but I want to keep it nice, plus we have high car theft around here. Even though its powerful, it purrs like a kitty even when putting around town. 350 hp isnt an insane amount, just enough to make passing other cars go real well.
