after 2 months in the body shop some money and a 355 sbc traded to a freind  who is a great bodyman just about restored the car to almost new condition.
the car has taken places in the best ten in the shows
that i have been to. it also took a best over all in a super chevy show for its class. thanks to a body man that still can work  with medal. car has been put away while more work is being done to improve on the 60 foot times and the handling. hope to have new pictures soon. sorry i dont own a camera

Wonderful!!!!!!!!! A man after my own heart. My project is an 81 CDV with a '70 500 in it. Would really like to pick your brain about the rearend and brakes issue. I've just finished with the motor and exhaust, now the rest of the drive train needs help. I'm using the stock turbo 400 for now. Very nice car!!!
