I'm 18 and am lucky enough to be driving this.
Pretty much stock today, and was well used when we bought it.  Originally a Florida car so body was not too bad for spending time in Minnesota.

I tossed a rod due to the crack in the block we failed to notice when we looked it over, and had a fresh poncho crate take it's place.

My Dad and I chopped out the rust and welded in patch panels - now she's pretty solid.

Now the best part - we painted it with..........a roller and urethane boat paint.  Lots of color sanding, and it looks sweet.  No one can believe it wasn't professionally squirted.
