    Well i bought another project:)! Shes a soild fifty,running(kinda) and driving. I really wasnt looking for another but oh well,i was trying to help a buddy out. He was in need for some cash so i took here home for $1900 bucks.Heres A few pics of my new bone stock beauty. i gave her a quick hose down on the trailer cause she was covered in some heavy dirt an dust. When my buddy got it he was given all the maintence records that go back to the 60's,very cool to look at was stuff cost back then. anyways all post some build pics along the way.

    60's style for sure! Chrome steelies, get it as low as i can without bags(kinda like the G****vine). im still gonna run the stock 216 and driveline keep all that simple. maybe some crazy paint,lace panels and scallops.
