Good luck with your project bud. Looks like you've got a big job there. Are you going to put it back to original or customise it.

Resto-mod. It is this far...so I will do a frame off.
It has been sitting like this for 3 years, paint is good just real dirty.
Wait until you see the tiny garage I moved it to....haha

Hi h,
You've taken on quite a project based on that picture!!!
Is that new hand-laid fiberglass on the center of the firewall? It's made quite an odd shaped start to the transmission tunnel?
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
