Reallynice!
10-20-2009 #8Thanks Dave. Future plans are to get it back on the road. As you can see from the pics it's getting there but still a ways to go. Still need to finish the interior, brakes, front end alignment, test & tune, then paint & body. Added fiberglass fenders, front bumper, rear deck...lots of body panel line up and fresh paint to go. I'd like to get it back to the track by next summer...but that has been my goal for the last 2 summers. We'll see. I'll keep updating with pics here as it moves along.
