Thanks for the compliment, but.......
Don't let the pic fool ya, the paint is shot. It has the miniture heat shields I showed a pic of in another of my posts.(in Off Topic,"Starship" heat shield tiles) The interior is in pretty sad shape too.
That blue front endfades back to some real funky flames that look like they were done by a rattle can. Oh ya, the front and rear bumpers are badly warped.
I'm doin' a ground up,.... suspension (it's done), drive train, it's done 'cept for puttin in the 454 and the 3sp w/OD.
Her next step, before I saved'er from an abusive, mean, ol'man, wasto awrecking yard,[&o] but Daddy's goin' to make 'er all better!
