I got this car on trade a few years ago and have been slowly working on it. I figured it was about time I made a build thread. Here's the few pics after I got it and striped it. The chop was messed up in a few places and nothing on the inside was welded. Sent from my SM-G920R6 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Looks great with the chop. I was just checking out my nieghbors new one last night. I think his is a 48, quite rare down this end. I got pics, its black n flamed, but cant post em here due to modern wheels, but he is planning on running solds with rings and caps.
It's been awhile since I updated. Since I have shaved the holes I don't need on the firewall and dash and epoxied them. Rebuilt the motor and rear end with my Dad. Had the trans rebuilt. Brake system in. Motor and trans in. Sombrero hubcaps. Lake pipes. Just about everything in to start wiring it. Sent from my SM-G920R6 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Maybe one of his buddies can tell him to get the heck back on and un hang us all...hope he's still here on terra firma...
