    Looks great.

    Ive known the last 4 owners of that car and have been with for the taking of new ownership for 3 of the times.

    First my buddy Dave in oakdale bought it with a bad motor in it (drivable just smokey) i was with when he bought it, i drove him to get the car and followed him home, hes the one that put the dent in the bumper and fender, a late night of drinking the side of the garage door opening made its marks! he started to put a new motor in it but never finished.

    So onto the next owner, my Uncle in law, Dave told me he was gonna sell it so i called Uncy Steve and told him about it, so we hooked up the trailor and went and picked her up and brought it over to my house, after a good days worth of work we fired her up and he drive it home, hes kinda picky when it comes to cars so he really never drives them, he let it sit in his garage till he called me and told me he wanted to sell it.

    So onto the next owner, i called my buddy Joel and told him about the car so he drove down to my place and we drove over to Uncy Steves and he bought the car from him and drove it back to my place, the north to Isanti it went.

    Then Tuck bought it from Joel and finally made is Killer Kanadian Kool!

    go ahaed and use ths diamond grille inserts from the ford ......just to make it harder to clone... no one would ever do the conversion then finish with the ford stuff....now thats canadin thinking right there
