The insides is not to bad for an older resto.I could live with it for while untill i do a change over to black .He said the engines runs 180-200 depends on conditions and i talked to the builder so i know what it is made up of.I have someone who will do a show paint job for under 5000 thats a top notch award winning job he is fair and good.Flames extra.PPG paint,base/clear.I dont thinkl the insides would have to be changes right away but later i would want to something to my tastes.I would want to lower the back.Besides that i think it would be very presentable.He said he has 12,000.00 in the engine.Thats possible i guess if you had someone do everything.He was trying to sell it not long ago for 35,000 and i think the paint was a lot of why it did not sell if it was black i think a steel 34 would have brought that.I have a lot less in mine i did a lot of the work myself thats why. I thought mustang II front ends were still the hot item.
