I love it- looks great!

I also like the wheels- over here they're a little overdone (well at least in 16" and 17") on muscle cars- but over there, I bet they're pretty different.

Looks like one heck of a project.

thx! I love that kind of wheels because they're kinda classic. But I also like the modern designs on older cars but can't afford them

updated pics






been busy today with building the wooden body dolly

Looks awesome man. It makes me want to work on mine. I took my body back off the frame. I cut the bottoms off both 1/4 panels. I just have 1 more to weld in. Man your photo shop pic looks cool. Is that a vinyl top? That would be bitchn.

thx man! yeah I think the car I used for the photoshop pic had a vinyl top. But I don't plan to get one for my car. Looks good but mine doesn't need one

pics of today's work!

me @ work












and here the look out to my daily car



I pulled the engine few hours ago and I must say it was easy going for my first time doing that. next step is pull the chassis out the barn, finish the body dolly and roll the body further in the barn so I got more room to play will look around for a sandblaster for my frame and so on...
