When I bought the moter was good. Mostly body work left trans needs a new front pump seal. Also just found a issue with the wiper switch. lack of money has slowed things down. Had hoped to have rear quaters and trunk done by now. Just working on all those little things mostly right now. And DRIVING IT might not look great but still very fun.

I will post pics sooner or later. It is hard to load pics with a modem at 22k.

I will post some picture soon - I don't even have it parked in my garage yet.
It was a friend of the family that owned it about 12 years ago. He sold it to a friend of his 10 years ago - gave him crap for not telling me. Now I told the new owner if you ever want to sell it CALL ME!! 10 years latter he did call. Needs money for his wedding. So here is the set up I'm leaving for a 3 week vacation to New Zealand in 4 days from when he calls. The car needs to be moved from where it is now. 2 days before we leave I get a farmer with flatbed at 10pm in the first snow storm of the winter to come and move it to a friends barn. Now summer is here but like most of us our garages are full. Time to clean and make room for the project. Will post pictures when I go visit her.

That is the funny part - growing up as a kid my Dad is a mopar fan - therefor I was also, but funny how things happen - wanted a car to restore was given a 68 Buick Riviera then found a body donar - needs alot of work. That project still sits in the garage. Always wanted a convertible and a friends Olds came yup jumped on that. Then my Isuzu SUV kiked the bucket - Picked up and GMC Acadia as a replacement. My Dad still razez me but GMC keep showing up in my life. Works for me!!!!
