Ok, a few of you have asked so here it is :thumbs: I've had this car for about 6 years. I bought it from a guy in Atlanta. The car had caught on fire before undergoing a pan off restoration. It's by no means a Riddler restoration but it makes for a real nice driver. There's not a stitch of rust anywhere on the car.

It started out pretty nice but it had an 80's flare :hillbilly: It had a hacked up beam with only 1 weld in adjuster, 5 spoke Empies, 2110cc (nothing real special), and a stock tranny. Over the years I've changed quite a bit. It now has a 2332cc (Dyno'd around 200hp), and a tranny to match. It has a full air ride suspension. All four corners are independently adjustable. I've swapped the wheels out for BRM's and added some Black accents.

Currently I'm trying to get the air ride system dialed in. It's been a really fun car! Here's some pictures. You can see how it used to be toward the bottom. HOPE YOU LIKE PICTURES :dance:

Originally the tins matched but I like contrast. The peach was discoloring also.
