78 Pace Car frame on restoration completed
Just finished a 11 month long restoration of a 78 Pace Car. Purchased the car last October for $13,000 off of Ebay.
We have $20k into it total. It's an automatic L-48 with 37,000 miles. Holds a special place in my heart because I was born in 78. I did 95% of the work myself.

Congratulations on all the hard work! You must be very proud (and should be) for doing the lion's share of the work yourself. The end result is absolutely gorgeous. Now enjoy the fruit of your labor and drive it and enjoy the thumbs up and compliments at shows. You have earned it.

Congratulations on a beautiful pace car!! $20k (the time is 'a labor of love'!) into a car with that type of detail and workmanship is well worth it! Hope you enjoy!!
