    Car's running now, and it's headed to get mufflers tomorrow.

    After that, I just need a few little things to get ready for inspection.

    The car looked basically like this when I got it minus the whitewalls. But the entire drivetrain was shot. This is a 'good from far but far from good' car; a little rough when you get closer to it.

    I put in an entire new rearend (92 Buick), motor, ******, wiring harness, etc. Been working on this about a year now.

    Here's a few pics......
