    My brother bought this car and has a lot of fab work and they put a 425 out of a 77 Cadillac. We're curious on the history of this car if anyone knows
    Thanks

  3. Don't have a clue but all it lacks is just a finishin' up.

    Nice lines I like it real well.

    Are those quarters off a 60 pontiac?
     

  5. The front end doesn't do it for me. The grille opening looks like a Nash, which I never found very appealing. Maybe a set of bars or teeth will help. I'd lose the hood emblem, also
     
  6. I love the rear fenders! I'd get rid of that sun-visor though.

    Actually, re-doing the front as we speak and hood emblem Is gone. Not sure where the quarters are from.

  8. Nice car.
    I agree with Carl, needs some teeth.
    I look terrible too when I take mine out.
     
  9. It will look nice without the hood emblem and the visor.

    As it sat in the photos it looked to be running in too many different directions at the same time. I'd have to agree that the hood ornament and sunvisor don't fit in with the custom work on the rest of it. Ok with all the stock gegaws and frufru but rather clumsy with the tunneled headlights and custom taillights.

    The grill kind of has that "it's what's was in the wrecking yard the day we went hunting for a grill" look to it rather than something that was planned with the other mods.
