Jim, you've done a wonderful job on "Rat's Nest". What an awesome car and a great history. Thank you for documenting the story and build for all us to follow and drool over...

Thanks Chuck. I still have to pinch myself when I think about how all this went down and all the fantastic people I've met because of this car. More fun next year when we hit the strip with it 50 years after it it made it's debut as a Super Stocker

Default Life and Times of COPO N690964

Things have been pretty quiet around here so I thought I would create this post show the transitions over the 52 year plus life of the car. I guess if we keep repeating history, black with gold stripes is next

Default Added a little jewelry.....

Finally got around to getting some original shift levers on the M22. Why does it just feel better to have an original part that does the same thing as the repro?
Also got my old school Hurst line loc installed (solenoid still needs wired). Almost ready for the burnout box
