It sure is nice! I really like that color and how it makes the chrome hood stacks pop.

Taken a few days ago at a local parking lot. This car is nowhere near stock. It has a 396 engine from a 1969 Chevelle (engine code ?0414JK.), 12 bolt 4.10 posi rear end, and a 5 speed transmission. I swapped out the original 4 speed with a 5 speed because I was having issues at highway speeds. American Racing Outlaw I rims. BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. 8x15 front, 10x15 rear. 95% of the "restoration" was done by my dad.
Here's a video I took of it when I had a shop examine it. The car is pretty loud. It tends to set off car alarms.

I'm assuming that the person driving it was from the shop?

Yeah. I ended up taking it to the shop for a quick inspection. The car does not have power steering, so its really hard to turn. It requires some muscle power. Hence why it took several tries to point it in the direction of the garage. Its odd how my rear brake light looks out. I looked at it after taking the video and the light is working.

If you know how to use enough gas pedal and you have enough HP you dont have to worry about using the steering wheel to get you in the right direction!!! LOL

Thanks! Just bought the car at Thanksgiving. First time I ever bought a car the other guy spent a lot of money on first! (my program is usually spend a bunch and lose your AZZ !) Already have a new rear end sitting in the garage to put in and a laundry list of stuff I want to do. No such thing as buy 'em and leave 'em alone....
