About my Ride

I bought this car in pretty rough shape, I guess that is really a nice way to put it. When I got the car home I was really thinking this project was going to be way over my head. I had never restored a car before and I picked a heck of one to be my first. I enlisted the help of my good friend Chris Martin and we put the car in his shop to begin the restoration. First i gathered up all of the parts which pretty much consisted of everything. Hood,quarters,fenders,floorpans,doorskins,spoilers,tailpanel,trunk and material for rear framerail repair. I also bought all new bumpers and all of the exterior trim new, actually every single thing on the car is new. I replaced every nut and bolt piece of trim interior pieces fuel and brake lines I am really not exagerating when I say everything is new. I had a 383 built for the car by Branen's Performance backed by a TKO 5 speed going through a 12 bolt posi with 383 gears. I then had the interior buttoned up by DJ'S Upholstery.
