I put this car on the HAMB for my friend months ago, and ended up buying it to help him out with his finances...and because it's pretty awesome. Now, I need to get my '35 Ford back in the garage, so this car's gotta go and I just wanna get what I have into it. I've done some stuff to it since it was last posted...such as fender skirts, Caddy caps, new front bumper and grille, installed rear bumper and rear window. I have been driving this car, as is, all summer with absolutely no problems at all. It starts right up, has a mean idle, runs very strong, shifts smooth, and stops well. Did I mention this car is VERY fast? There are a few things that could be finished, or you could drive it like I have for the past 4 months...the most noticeable being the glass. The curved rear glass is installed, but all the flat glass needs to be finished. The head and tail lights work, but there are no brake lights or high beams. The seats and dash are done, but the rest of the interior is unfinished. This car has been taken on several long trips and it's solid and dependable, I would drive it anywhere. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions, I'm sure I have forgotten something. Thanks for looking...
