Mano definitely makes it look easy! To see the roof in person is impressive for a one-man job.

What do you think boys? Found this one for a grand. 20K on a rebuilt engine, otherwise all og. Typical Az. car, DRY! no rust anywhere, not even under the battery. Immaculate pan. needs window rubber and a windshield. Front fenders been hit by the tow vehicle that used to pull it during sharp turns. All in all, nice car. ( notice the tin cover over the pulley bolt, anybody seen that before? I havn't.)

Fix that dent, slam it and roll it until your oval's done!

Yeah, I figure I'll throw my smoothies on it, don't care for the slotted wheels, 145's in rear temps in front. Drop a few notches, and see if I can get that pass. front fender from Jeremy. Clean it up inside, and roll it. (probly have to buff it out too.) Pretty happy about it. Just goes to show ya, drive far, look hard, and sometimes you find stuff. :dance:

Nice find! That tin cover over the pully belt is a rareity! We owned a 66 back in the late 80's that had that tin. I have been half heartidly looking for one for the 66 I now have.
