Default Back on the Street

Short history on this car, I acquired this car from a college guy, that was my neighbor. I took care of this car while he was at college. I got the car for $250, back in 1989, after a deal was made to repair it at 11:30 pm one night. I'm the second owner and from day one, my plans were to make it a big tire, big block car.
It started out as strictly a race car but after some health issues, my wife suggested, lets enjoy the car more and make it street legal.
So after reworking the electrical system, new 2" drop spindles, adding mufflers, a wider rear housing, street tires, here is the final product and as soon as I get some insurance, it will be on the street.

Thanks Craby....
It started out as my favorite color combo, lemans blue, black vinyl top and white stripes but then the car sat for many years because of our son's health condition.
Then one day my co-worker said to me, let's paint the car. I just laughed at him and he said he was serious. So it ends up, a gallon of hugger orange was donated from a left over project, and orange was my second choice of colors, so I couldn't say no to free paint, so it ended up orange and it gets a lot of smiles.
