    i recently aquired this car from a fellow RelicS club brother from SoCal.
    he owned the car for 17 yrs, during which time he drove the crap out of it, put the hydraulic suspension on it, bellflowers, etc. and the 4 lug cragars.
    car has a stock 250 out of a 70's truck with the stock 3 speed currently.
    a few pics of when i got the car.

    i had the car dropped off directly at my club brothers paint shop by another club brother.
    where we proceeded to strip the car down to prep for paint work.

    after straightening out some questionable body work, and few scrapes, dents, bruises etc, it was time to start on some primer and get the doors cut in.

    but then we decided to do a 180 on color and idea. so it all got sanded off and started over.
    this is what we ended up with, a nice minty green fade job.
