People ask for more photos so here they are. Washed and waxed today after a 300+ mile road trip to bring her home.

This one has rear disc brakes and sway bar, right? Beautiful car by the way, it's almost exactly how I want to build mine

Just a suggestion.. since to you’ve started a thread on your New Toy, just keep it gong with all your posts and pics regarding the car. If you going to bring up another subject OR have a question regarding another subject, then start Another thread. This way your car can be easily followed by all interested. Just my 2 cents…

Did they keep the engine bay stock appearing?

A 300 mile introduction trip, very nice. I trust it went well? That's a great looking car! Is there a story regarding the trunk map?

Uhhh almost. Power steering went out an hour before I got home. I was taking a turn to an on ramp and I think the shaft in the pump snapped lol. It didn't make any noise though which is a first for me

Also, yes, the previous owner made it a hot rod power tour car and mapped out all the places he went to and from Chicago Illinois!

At least it didn't leave you stranded!

That's pretty cool, and quite the distance.

Sorry for the multiple replies I haven't used a forum in a decade Facebook groups don't cut it like these sites do

No worries at all.
