    As you can see it's still pretty much original. Obviously the 17" American Racing whells arn't stock, but I thought they filled the wheel wells nicely and gave the car a "beefier" look. The art work was done by Kenny "MK" John. The rest is pretty much stock; 322 Nailhead tied to a Dynoflow. It does have flame throwers, but they are rigged to work only when the car is in park (and my wife can verify that no one is behind me). We don't use them much, but it sure gets everyone going. We left the paint and dents (they look much worse in these pictures than they actually are). I love that the paint is worn through on the front fenders. If you're standing next to it the wear is obviously from gearheads like us leaning over them for years or sitting on them while parked. I just thought it showed the cars history and didn't want to change it. Hope you like it.

    thanks. It only had two quarter sized holes; one in the bottom of each rocker panel. We had them metal filled. We really liked it because we thought it had nice lines and also because we never really see many.
