The detail work is A+ in my book. I bet you pull down top honors whenever you show it.

That awesome to have a color that nobody e!se come up with. I really like the whole deal with the painted bumpers and the stripes really set the body color off. As for the rear set up you have done a great job. I'm hoping that mine will come out nice but we will see. Really like the dana look just makes the car look tough.

Thanks i have been learning alot

yep, thanks. So the BMV title has it wrong? Not that im truly concerned with it. unless i can happen to find all the trim for a 440, it'll probably go trimless. Just gonna be a family cruiser.

Gave her a good bath. Looks much better without all the pine tar. Also got a hold of a 4 barrel for the poly. Original poly is gonna have to be rebuilt it appears.

So did I... seems Indiana told Mother Nature to teach us that we can truly have all 4 seasons in 4 days

That is funny, saddle on you feet and snow jacket at the same time. I think i will just put up the heat.

Been a bit since I've updated this. I've since pulled the old, what we believe is the original poly from the car and put in a known to run and drive engine and trans. I've got the car to idle, just a few more things to button up and fix before I'll take her out into the hay field to shake down

Removed what’s left of the front seat and pressure washed the entire under side of the car, found the rust spot in the rear tail is worst than I thought but I’ll replace it, floor pan, well let’s just say it’s getting replaced completely.
