  • This car was purchased with an incomplete small bumper swap, an incomplete v-8 swap, and all around incomplete! I thought most of the parts were there and that it mostly needed assembly. After trying to bolt the front bumper on, I understood why it was laying in the interior instead of on the car.....lol, I am slowly leaving newbish ideas of ease behind and replacing them with curiosity and resolve. It took 4 months before I could start the engine and discover that it sounded fairly good. I need many, many parts to get it on the road, but am hoping I can drive it in late summer.

    Eventually, I want to do a disc brake changeover, shelby drop, limited slip diff around 3.55?,get a Comet hood and grill, GT hood scoop, grabber or custom spoiler, rear window louvers, slot mags, green metallic paint, and white grabber stripe down the side without the grabber logo. Yes, someday it will be a unicorn.
