    My parents bought one of these for me when I graduated High School in '71. I wasn't all that excited about it then... wish I had it now. Funny how your views change through the years!

    yeah keith, it's definately a challenge to drive this thing sometimes...the whole windshield reflects all the flake and panels...kind of like a futuristic heads up display.....i sort of imagine this is what being on acid is like....

    This car has been a labor of love for Mr. J. It is awsome to follow. The looks from the people driving by is comedy. It is what I call a panty droper! Props to Harpoon, Swindler Sam, and (Amocat) Josh.

    Awesome. Even nicer than I had imagined. What's the interior look like? Especially what looks to be a painted dash!!!

    tragic59, here's a pic of the dash from over head. that's all that is worth looking at right now, as my second lower dash is still being flaked and candied, along with a column and wheel. you can see how i'm still missing the vent piece and the speaker cover.

    Great looking car.

    And to think, we can't even get rid of this damn '60 Bonneville 2dr for $1,500...see how cool they can be people?! Maybe we ought to just keep it.

    That's totally sick. My head hurts just trying to determine how many hours that paint job took and how expensive it must have been. It's really sweet.

    Pure 60's....you nailed the "LOOK". Great paint and color. The white tuck n roll will only add more to it's charm.
