It runs!!!!

But the milage sucks!!! I can't even get a half mile without giving them a rest! :D

This is my car as my friends pushed it into the garage 2 summers ago. There are no seats in it yet, so I had to sit on the rear floor. My project is well into the first phase. The body is off the frame. The frame is stripped of all suspension, steering, brake and fuel lines. Now all I need is to get it sand-blasted, welded, gussetted, and the new suspension components installed. Also a 454 DFI engine with ROD 6-speed is on the way! Hopefully fall 2004 I will be able to take it for its first drive!
