78 degrees tomorrow so we are taking her out for a spin. Will get some pics up when my daughter unstops my phone/email. Putin got me!!!

Still have an electrical issue and some exhaust work. After we pulled the frame straight, motor went right in. She is UGLY!!!!!

is this going to be a stick shift car? Seen the clutch, looks like a sintered iron disc.

It is a stick with the pistol grip shifter. We put about 2 miles on it, gauges woke up etc. Down to dash lights and stock speedo not working. Its BAD.

Phish…Any chance of a photo update? MB.

We are done for the most part. Few drips in the tranny and a water neck (cheap chrome) seep and a fuel gauge repair. It is a BEAST!!! and a BLAST. We put electric cutouts with side outlet like NASCAR. Going to apply boiled linseed oil to the patina and start using the car as a daily driver. It is entered in the Great Race Jacksonville to Traverse City in June. Hope to see you on the route. Hemiroid

It's an ugly male, and thanks to Frito for finding it. Radio delete panel worth more than the whole car. Will try to use it at D4 event to get a grade point. At least 11 second street car. Phish

The sintered iron disc clutch has come out as it is un-streetable. Correct Ram setup on the way. That top thing-a-ma-jig is a Timewise electro magnetic precision rally speedometer. The tach off to the left will be taped covered as well as the stock speedometer. Look for a couple of nuts dressed as the Blues Brothers in an old cop car. See you there.
