Super looking car. I just hate the fact the pics are not bigger so we can really get a good look at it.

been working on this for right at 1 yr now. it is a 73 that was smashed in front. since it needed a front clip i went with a used 71 clip fom a parts car i had. also took out the small block and went with 489 ci 4L60E stage 3, with twist machines converter, paddle shift and TCI controller for the trans, installing next weekend. the rest still needs a few things. i should be ready for summer, caint wait to drive it.
That's similar to what I want to turn my 69 into
Love the flares and the paint scheme.

Thats a great looking car. There might be a few people that would be interested in how you mounted the 72 chrome bumper to a 73 car. There is always a thread popping up about doing that.
