    I started to pull things apart of the car. I was worried that the body lines were altered when the fenders were welded to the body. Its a good thing that someone years ago was a not so talented welder. things kinda came off easier than I had thought. the body lines are all there and in tact. i got the nos fuel tank installed. I also pulled the front end apart to start the bone split, new spring and a bit of a freshing up! here are a few pics

    COOL SCORE MAN,

    Would love to find somethin like that.

    What is you'r plans for it. Are you going to make every many changes to the body or leave it close to the way it was built. Either way it should be a very cool build. Good luck and can,t what for more pics.
