I wish i would have met her! She did drive it through the garage door at one point by putting it in Drive instead of reverse hence the salvage title haha.

Neat story. Not to high jack, but met my wife in 1964 at work. She was driving her dad's 1961 Ford unibody pickup and thought I'd laugh at her if I saw her driving a truck, so she parked it out of sight. I told her that we'd probably have been married sooner if I had known she had a truck, LOL.
That's a sweet Pontiac. I would follow your plan of steering, brake, suspension, wheel upgrades but personally would not touch the original engine unless it's worn out and needing a rebuild. The mods that your F-I-L made to it should give it enough power to make it a fun driver.

Thanks for sharing! Yup thats the plans. The engine works great and is fun to drive. Plus 226,000 miles on it without a rebuild so far which I think is awesome.
