I had to get the '64 to the body shop, so the new '02 was put to the task. NOT! Here's the ole girl and the new car we got in August. I'm now living the best of all worlds: restomoding the C2, driving the C5 and retiring in 14 months. I hope the pictures come thru correctly. This is my first attempt at posting pictures.

Sure, I just got out the ole arc welder and some angle iron and welded it all up real nice then painted it with a rattle can. No sir. It's posed, just before hooking it up to the truck for the much awaited trip to the body shop.
