TNT440_Cbody said

Before this thread laps to page two and I start tackling more of the issues the car has, I'll appease your appetite for more pics. :happy10:

Here it is waiting for the tow truck in the rain on Jan 2-2011.


Here it is at home next to my C-body!


From the other (slab)side: (Yeah the C-body needs work too but the TNT440 runs great!)


Another reason I bought it: Mostly well done interior, just needs finished up and a few things that I don't like cleaned up.


Things I don't like: The dash pad is not original. It's just a straight-across padded and re-covered in red vinyl thing. The metal part up to the window also has a vinyl insert glued to the top so the speaker and defrost vents are totally covered, and that's lame.

The armrests look like cheapo repops, if such a thing exists. I saw some in a junkyard '66 Barracuda that I might pick up and repair. The steering wheel is covered in white vinyl but unfinished so it looks bad if you look closely at it. This is all IMHO of course.

But, the car is a great base since the body and paint are overall an 8/10 and that's good enough for me. The chrome is beautiful having been all redone, and it came with a bunch of spare parts. Car guys love spare parts. :cheers:

The plan for the car is going to be a nice driver that can be taken anywhere anytime; on long trips, date nights with the wife, to the grocery store, etc. If the paint gets dinged up a bit, oh well. We're going to USE this car!
