(when I first was typing this up i was thinking it was an accel, its bad when im forgetting what parts i have!) I would think that headers changing color wouldnt really mean anything, since they get real hot on a good running engine. I havent had experience with chrome (ceramic coated im guessing?) headers before though, im too poor for that stuff...

must not be to broke with thoes nice old cars lol

Yeah, the floor panels are actually one part you can get for those cars, same for all GM A-bodies I believe. The frame is good as far as I know, though who knows until/if I take the body off. This week Im planning on actually working on it, cleaning up a 310 wildcat motor I have sitting in the garage for it, then perhaps swapping it into it later this week. (though the snow is supposed to fly again, so perhaps I might be derailed) I plan on replacing the trunk floor this summer, though the mustang is #1 so the 5spd goes into that first. The Buick is actually more fun to just cruise in though over the mustang. Its a great car for going to the beach!
