Hello again everyone! I've been inactive for some time and haven't posted any updates on my RR clone...because I may have come across the deal of the century! Well, maybe not THE deal, but for me it's pretty close. I traded my half-finished project for another project: 1971 TorRed GTX 440+6bbl. Unfortunately though it's back to square one, but most of the car is there and some of my new parts from the other car can be used. Some of you may have heard of or seen this car floating around the internet at some point, but the back story in short (to my knowledge) is it was purchased new, driven for a few years then converted into a drag car in the mid '70's and raced as 'Nikki's Toy' then parked, lost, sold a few times and traded, then I ended up with the car. I'm planning on doing a full blown rotisserie restoration on it, and it will definitely take some time. I'll be doing my best to keep the updates rolling, although they will probably be far between.
