History
I started this car about 7 years ago and switched from a 406" small block & 350 Turbo to a Dart block 540" Rat & a 'Glide !! then the fun started.... Due to the motor producing over 700 hp on pump gas I ended up doing a LOT of chassis work ! Another project "out of control".......!

Interior
