heres and * update* so this week i went ahead and started to weed out the bugs all types of problems to fix ****** lines needed to be changed to high pressure lines cause they kept exploding (fixed) i had to put the tunnel ram back on (fixed ) rebuilt both carbs (fixed ). than i went ahead and wanted to make the car look like a survivor so i scuffed the paint (still needs to be finished) than put some letters on it and than cut the hood up so i could fit some carb stacks on it ...now i need a name for the quarter panel i was thinking "FADED MEMORIES".....something along those lines. front view
