This is what I have to start with. Right now it has just been sitting for a couple of years waiting for me to get the time. If it was yours what would you do? I need some good inspiration to get the project going. This is a 1979 Formula 255 Liberator. It had the option of 1 330/trs instead of the twin smallblock.trs combos. Most have said to stay with single and I may have a #3 drive to install. What would you do to the hull?

Sorry for the Hijack...
