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.

Honestly, I don't really know. The paint is from Sherwin William (Planet Color) under the muscle car section. It was something like metallic blue.

So it's really about bringing the body up to where the drivetrain is. And looking at the old pictures and the pictures of the car now as it comes together, it was worse than I thought back then...
