No kidding, that actually looks really cool. For that price, it better be as well done as it looks like it could be from that one picture.

There is a '69 LeMans wagon for sale locally that looks really cool to me. I'd kind of like to have it for a daily driver - would make a great dog hauler. Unfortunately I just don't have the spare cash he wants for it.

Just too damned much trouble to snap a few pics of what it looks like now...

Car was painted with rattle can. What a POS.

But it's got a .373 rear end! Think of the top speed!

Especially with the exterior door handles shaved for drag.

I do like the custom Muncie bench vice though.

Who wants to break it to him that he probably has '68 16 heads, not '74 round ports 16's?
