      It's kinda funny when I was 16 I couldn't wait to get the top off of my car but the older I get , I seem to like em a little more. Almost every car I have ever owned had a vinyl top. My first 69 cougar Almost exactly like the one in the pics just totally stock. Had a 70 Challenger that was sweet as hell w/ a vinyl top. My grandfathers 69 elCamino has a vinyl top and a vinyl stripe across the tailgate. Other cars that seem to be able to pull them off IMHO are 70-71 Torino/Fairlaine/Cyclone/Montego, 72-73 Torino, 68-73 Chevy Nova, Chevelle, elCamino, 67-69 Camaro 70-74 Challenger (Cudas don't look right in vinyl)

      Began tearing into it a couple of months ago it's almost broken down except for drive train. Lately though I have been practicing to repair a few holes the right way, rather than the previous owners bondo over it way.



      Have a Kaase boss planned with a six speed. I have an eliminator repop scoop(it is absolute crap in quality) that I modified to fit in the factory location, but am debating using a boss 429 scoop for a more aggressive look. I also plan on blacking out the center horizontal lines in the grill, adding a shelby style center console, deleting the c pillar emblems, and adding a passenger side mirror found on 70 eliminators, since I think it's weird only having 1 mirror. If you haven't guessed it's sort of an eliminator clone my way. I should have the new cylinder heads in hand later october. I'd be doing the motor at that point but I'm waiting to see if FR will release a new 385 block.
