Welcome to the '84 club. : ) Have an L69 5 speed here. Is your paint original? Looks really good. If you don't have one already, scour your local junkyard for a IROC steering brace or "wonderbar". Or alternately Spohn and other aftermarket vendors sell new, improved ones for around $50. The bar bolts above your sway bar mounts and adds some much needed bracing in the area, which aids handling to a degree and can prevent cracks near the steering box. Check near the box mounting bolts to verify you don't have tears forming already.
