    I'm not sure how, but I've lost the build thread of one of my favorite cars here. I hope someone can point me to the car. The poster was building the car for his Dad I think. It was stripped totally, everything made perfect, rotisserie restored, and painted a gorgeous blue. I recall a whole series of posts about building a new instrument cluster in the style of the original but all steel to fit aftermarket gauges.

    Hopefully someone knows the car. It showed incredible detail of every nook and cranny of the car.

    That's the one, THANKS! I don't know why but in my mind I was convinced the car was blue.

    I keep that one in the back of my mind, he did some pretty cool mods that I really liked.

    There were 2 car builds going on at that time of top notch quality and the other car was blue so I can see how a person could mix them up

    One for dad and the other for a daughter! Obviously the daughter isn't getting hers though.

    You wouldn't by chance have the link to that one, would you?
