crustyz11 has other ride profile(s):
The only parts of the body that were original when i ot done were the roof,firewall, tranny tunnel,and about 10" over the rear axle. It had QA1 coil-overs in front with a Hotchkiss hollow sway bar, offset cross-shafts, Baer 13" Track front discs, Hotchkiss rear leafs, rear drums, Steeroids power rack and pinion, Chris Alston sub-frame connectors, 17x9 Mille Miglia wheels, 245/40/17 front, 285/40/17 rear Goodyear run-flats. 060 over 350 with flat tops, a Comp Cams 268H cam, 481 iron double humps, Edelbrock Performer RPM air-gap intake, Demon 750 carb, MSD 6al ign., TH350 w/shift kit and 2800 stall B&M converter. It had standard black interior w/full Autometer guages, 4-point roll bar, Clarion AM/FM/CD, Rear-view mirror w/map lights. It took me 5 years and 25K to build this car and i wrecked it in about 10 seconds being a *** I only had 5 beers in about 4 hrs time. I thought i was OK to show off a little.....guess i was wrong.
Easily the worst thing to ever happen to me.

Nope, it went back to the insurance man. The "adjuster" was a shyster and kept upping the buy-back price untill i said screw it.
Oh well. If it weren't for that i wouldn't have found my Pace Car!

Nice car. I know exactly how you feel with the story about wrecking it. Is it still up and running? Totalled? Fine now?
