    wow craig. that is awesome. my sprint is at the stage where yours was without the fenders and hood. just getting everything apart. i look at it and wonder if it'll ever get done. when i see the pics of yours during the rebuild i get an inspiration from it. that is really beautifuil. congratulations.(y)

    Bought it in 1998. Have never really driven it unless you count the 5 block trip BACKWARDS from my old house to my current house. Car had no forward gears.

    Looks real good. 'Look even better if you paint that center cap on the steering wheel (the plastic part) semi-flat black...

    Very nice ... looks like we have similar tastes in interiors .... and that was an awesome find on the interior up in the body shop attic ... how the heck did you know it was even up there?

    Craig ... I notice your Comfortweave panels have the later style emblems ... do you know what they came out of? Ralph's 71 Grabber has them as well. Those are the only two sets of panels I've seen that had the new emblem instead of the old style with the comfortweave ...

    That wheel is just on there for the pictures. No steering on the car right now.
