I've had this car for just about 15 years now. Running gear was completely rebuilt Spring 2000. My buddy/mechanic said the car has come this far, so let's make it shiny. The phrase of the following months was GO BIG OR GO HOME and still echoes loudly from time to time. The car was originally completely black and looked pretty straight with only the usual bubbles appearing under the vinyl roof and around back windows. The decision was made to remove the vinyl and if inspection at this time proved to be bad to do some cosmetics and replace. Rust was basically surface with a few pinholes and we were off. Out came the aircraft stripper, moldings chrome stainless all removed. Its amazing what some good body work and paint can hide. Still with the war chant GO BIG OR GO HOME, work commenced until all that

remained were the body bolts. Car body and frame all sandblasted and primed with Endura should never rust in a life time. The car has a 400 engine with a mild cam, Edelbrock intake, Holley 750 double-pumper, M21 4-speed, and 3.72 posi. Some upgrades include front disc conversion and 15x7" and 15x8" SS1 wheels, 235&275 60 tires, an MSD ignition & a quick-ratio steering box. I did not cheap out on any part of this car, as my wife will verify any time she is asked!
