I'd rather drive it than sand it.

    Kind of assembled, ( lol ) it dose not have the chrome boomerangs for the quarter windows on it yet, and i have to re-adjust rear glass trim. But sure i'll take some pics and post em if ya want. I haven't taken alot of pics of it, was in a bad bad accident and had to throw it together as quick as possible.

    You want like ---- side pics and front and back ? Oh and don't laugh at my bumpers, lol had to use what i had, they be rusty.

    Ran down the road to an empty field to take some pics, 2 people stopped to gawk and chat ( nice when it happens ). What stinks is when i'm driving and they try to chat with me, if they were in the car they would understand, I CAN'T HEAR THEM. lol. Almost have to shut it off just to chat with someone next to me. Anyways there some pics hope they are what ya wanted taken.

    Thanks John, means alot to hear it, no matter how many times i hear it i still know there are flaws, but at least now i dont have to worry about rust.

    I need to go give a BIG TY to crazy comet, i think i may be getting a new carb thanks to him, i've rebuilt it twice and found blisters and peeling in the float bowls.
