    I wouldn't consider it much of a clone by just adding mirrors and a hood but..... it is a fine looking ride non the less.:thumbs2:

    Thanks you! The mirrors were added by a previous owner a few years ago. The grabber hood I picked up off of craigslist for $200 a year ago.

    More pics will come soon! Other details include: Originally a 6cyl auto car with 4 lugs. Previous owner put a 1974 Ford 302 (out of a hot rod in her). TCI Sizzler tranny with 2000 stall, Hurst Pro-matic shifter, switched to 5 lug slotted mags, 8" rear with 3.25 gears. I put on a dual side exit exhaust with glasspacks, Road Demon 625cfm carb, vintage hurst shift knob, new 215/70/14 Cooper Cobra's, Grabber hood (I got for $200 off craigslist). I plan on putting on aluminum door panels and getting the grill parking lamps. In a couple of months swapping out the ol' 302 with a built 289!!! :chirp:
