Those cars not only had a nice ride but also had pretty good power as well. That should be a very enjoyable and fun car to drive.

Our family ride was yellow bottom with the very dark green (looked black) roof. Loved that car.

well
we pulled the trigger and she has many hours of work ahead of her.
we will farm out the engine install but there is plenty of other stuff to do.
$750 is what we settled on.

Shine's done a lot more hot rod & muscle car builds than me, but I've found an adjustable PV to be helpful in balancing front to back braking. All OEM vehicles use a non-adjustable proportioning...
