This was our car but we sold it.

My pops spent almost 20 years trying to buy this car. One day the owner decided to let her go.

We bought her and the plasma cutter came out the front end went away and a solid axle went in.

We needed money as new shops do and this car went away but she came back!

The owner now wants me to finish the car.

She now has the engine moved back 8 inches, the front end moved forward 3, a narrowed 8.75, mini tubs and more vintage torch work than i think is safe....

Just finished the 12 point cage and engine plate mounts.

Next will be the tilt front end, passenger floor pan cut out, passenger seat mount tried into the cage, aluminum interior, fuel, brake lines, wire and everything else needed to make it run and drive safe..

The owner is 6"4' so the door bar had to move.
