    And one with my 9 year old. His favorite part is the 3on the tree, I thought him and my wife both how to drive it.

    [​IMG]

    It has 34k actual miles, all original other than the tires. I picked it up about a month ago, got a good deal and planned to flip it but it's so dam nice and so tight and fun to drive it may stay around a bit.

    I find that a metal milk crate lagged to a moving dolly does well also ... looking good.

    Plans?

    A few shots of my car over the years. This was my sons first real race car after he was finished with Jr/Dragsters. The two 64's was a final round at IRP for a Wally. The others are from Muncie Dragway and from around 1994 before we made it a race car only. Told him he could race it for as long as he wanted. He could never cut it or tub it out though. He started racing his own cars in 1999.

    Here is my 64, Still have lots to do but its really fun to drive. The car sat at my parents farm for about 15 years until about a year ago. I did the 5.0/AOD swap over the past year, and prob going to bag it eventually. Just thought I'd share.

    Guys, anyone buy weather stripping and window gaskets for their 64's lately? I've checked Dearborn Classics, Autokrafters,Macs and Ebay so far. The roof rail kits are kind of pricey at $309-319.00. Anyone have a different source I can try? Edit: Just checked the Alliance and Weatherstripspecial has my parts......for less even.
