| Notes: |
This was my father in laws car. He bought it in show shape but never garaged it. He ended up having it shaved and the stock Ginger color sprayed over with Red.
I will be doing a frame up rebuild that will take a few years at least given having young kids at home and a more than full time job. My plans are to make it beautiful again and have the engine capable of standing up to the image. I may race it occasionaly, 1/4 miles. |
