    I am the lucky new owner of my favorite car of all time. I got it from Tommy Blowerdude. he got it from Chris Chopd34. I found it in the Hamb classifieds ,was posted once and never came back up. I was just doing my wish list browsing and there it was. I couldn't believe it was there and at a price I could make happen.I completely lost it, had to have it. Obsessed over it for weeks, couldn't sleep.WTF!!

    Anyway, Thanks to Tommy for helping make this happen. I had to sell everything to afford it and he held the car for me. This car has a great history. It was hot rodded back in the early mid sixties. It was updated a little in the 80s with new interior and Chris did an exceptional job getting the stance right and adding a chrome front end and many other mods. It's heavily channeled and no chop so I fit perfectly.
    Tommy replaced the engine with a sixties sbc and double humps built by Fulton Engineering. He did amazing work to the chassis and installed a 9" with Strange axels. He installed Lincoln brakes to the front with drilled backing plates.110 holes! The car has been driven a ton over its life. I plan to do the same. Runs and tracks perfect. It has just the right amount of wear and warts, just like me. It's the car of my life and I feel very lucky.

    I will replace the interior ASAP . Going to do a sixties style have some ideas.
    I need recommendations for trimmers in the S.F Bay Area.
    Thanks for everything my brothers...Mark

    How cool would that be. If anyone knows I'd love to get any info.
    The interior is coming out. I'ts perfect 80's done in 84.

    The color looks like blood red to me. It's period correct...
