SS on outer frame by steering box, hard to read in pic. Worn out from posting retiring from pics for the night.

I am moving forward with my car and was looking for info on the cars history. I have a gap between when it was sold in 1968 and about 1985. The story is that the car came to So Cal very early on in its life possibly by a Navy person in San Diego. If anyone remebers this car or can shed any light I would appreciate it. It was drag raced extensively. Thanks

Wonderful car with a neat history unfolding. This car will be killer when completed. Good luck Dana!!

Almost ready to turn the key save for a few remaining parts that have been located. Still need a 68 Deluxe wheel but 'me lady' is gracious enough to let me borrow hers off the Gibb Nova until one is located. She is sitting about 2" high on all four paws. That is with the original front coils and replacement new rear springs. Hopefully it will settle some but 2" is asking for a lot.

Thanks again to Tom Scholtz who went above and beyond with the bodywork and paint on this car. It is unreal. Huge thanks also to Annie for the hundreds of hours she has put into this car. I could not run this business without her help!

This has definitely been a labor of love. I have not added up the hours yet but this will likely take the record for number of them. We cannot thank Dana enough for allowing us the restoration duties and we hope he is satisfied with the results. There are still some unanswered questions regarding this car (we think it had the rear Yenko made spoiler originally installed) but many have been answered and proved. Having an original paint car to start with certainly helped prove some of the things that were done to this car originally. We are definitely looking forward to debuting it at the MCACN show and seeing everyone again.

You guys saw these pics before I did. Freak'n incredible. If this car were alive it would be indebted for life to Rick and Annie for putting it back in it's Glory! I can't even tell you how much they threw themselves into this endeavor. I found the car and scrounged parts and spent late nights on the phone with Rick discussing the weirdest details, but they are the ones that did all the work on this one. We also had help with parts and info from members here like Dave Lindsley, Ed Montini, Brian Henderson, Charley and Marlin just to name a few. Can't wait to get to MCACN and sit in that car. Just got home from the USC/Stanford game and I am spent, that darn Andrew Luck. Good night.
