    Before and after

    before and after....and another after coming in the next few years....I did a semi-resto the first time around. I was young and not financially stable, nor really that good at auto repair I was only 14 when I started putting it together. Now i am in a posisition over the next 3-5 years to do it the way i want. It still takes time though and now I have enough money(not really but you know what I mean) I find my time is lacking working long hours both for my Job and side work. Now I feel confident with my abilities to do it right this time......

    In 1983 Car was COMPLETLY stock except for adding the Cragars.

    Then in 1989 after quite a few mods. (smallest pic )


    And the way it looks today.

    ericglo, On all four pics the car has the same paint job.

    It has NEVER been painted....... it has the factory paint.

    It needs new paint badly ,and when the time comes it will be repainted the same color with the same stripes.
