    You would have invested a lot more $$$ had you done it yourself. It is always way cheaper to buy something well done vs. building something well done.

    I'd agree first car I won't have to do much to idk if it will be as fun as chasing all the parts across the country but I'm going injoy it still going to change stuff like gear ratio to 355 or 327 and valve covers and carb and air cleaner so far valve cover will be black but the same as the ones in the pic 20140616_221528.jpg

    Nice car, I know it's been to a Roundup before, but I don't know if the previous owner was a member here. Maybe we'll see you in Dearborn at the MCCI Mini-Meet.
