    Well I told all the barons I was going to start a brookwood project for my cousin and its finally started. We're going to redo the whole thing, well almost anyway. Probably going to yank out the motor and put a 350/383 in it. He hasn't decided yet, he wanted a Big block but the frame is pretty narrow and for what he's paying I'm trying to stop him from doing that. He bought this car from a guy for a 1k and it has a ton of new parts, We keep opening more boxes and I'm just amazed at all the part. Anyway here's some pics, we pulled the old windshield and started sanding down the roof already. Here they are hope you like it -Zipp
    Hope this pic works, this is my first time :eek:

    Looks incredibly solid for that kind of money. Likely can get a good chunk of that back with all the parts you say he got that doesn't get used.

    Thanks guys, hopefully I can get the roof in primer by tomorrow. There's only a few small dents up there and only surface rust so that will be pretty easy. Glad you guys like it, I didn't really like it at first buts it really grown on me.

    Mad dog is the orange one yours? I was a little confused by the pics you posted. I really like the orange one, I'm trying to take my cousin into shaving all the handles but so far I've only talked him into taking off the rear ones.

    You texans can't handle this Utah boy! Roddin to answer your question, honestly I didn't even pay attention when we jacked the rear up, I know it has a 283 in it, I have no idea if that's the original engine or not. I know the guy my cousin bought it from started restoring this before he sold it to us "hence all the boxes of parts". Send me some pic's Alex!
