Hey SinatraCool

With those big fattys on the front...I am regressing back to about 1965-70 era and the coupes and coaches of the day ripped up the asphalt at the local oval track (Albany-Saratoga Speedway)...All you need is a big push bumper and lose the grill and put a wire screen in place...oh shoot numbers on the doors to finish the look...Looks good from here...
thanks for sharing

Hey SinatraCool

You are doing a great job so far but not to mess with your fun but....the money is going to be in all the stupid little parts you gotta buy to stick part "A" onto part "B"...I bought my 1954 Chevy truck with a cab (no doors) for 550.00 thought I was gonna do one for less than $2000.00....not a chance...we are going into year number 3 (of the build)this coming year...and the money is rolling out of my wallet at an insane pace with no end in sight...Keep digging for those bargains tho..it keeps you pumped up for the build (the very very long haul) you have coming up....
