1971 CC GT-37 HO M-22 Posi making a comeback
 
There is some progress...Really just getting started on the body. Only surprise so far is the discovery of a rollbar in this lightweight racer! Floor are original, and body should be off soon to the blaster. Hopefully no surprises there. Frame is going to be powdercoated soon as well. Slow progress thru the years to date.

Pulled engine long ago to be rebuilt and is done.

Nice car Mike! What wheels are those? Are you going to keep them on the car?

I remember seeing the engine after it came back and it is going to look sweet in this car! Can't wait to see the finished project.

Yet another clean and rare A body in your fleet, shocker! That will be one nice car when it is done.............

Judge273 04-07-2009 04:44 PM

Thanks it is moving along at a slow pace. This is a rare one as Paul says: 1 of 40ish with the M-22. How many left?

BJ, I will go with the dechromed rally II's. Not sure what wheels are on the car now. But my goal is for it to look like the ad with the red/white stripes instead.

The chrome work is done, and engine which is good as well. When its done I would like to get a picture like the ad too. But, not cheap as the ad implies...

Those look like Weld Pro Stars to me?

Keep up the good work, Mike!

Mike:
That will look awesome. You've got a couple of good garages you could use to take that same picture and re-create that ad - which would be really cool to have hanging in your office someday! Very nice car, glad to see it coming back to life.

Very cool car Mike - where's the roll bar?

gloryrestoparts 04-14-2009 11:02 AM

still planning to have this done for the Pure Stock Drags? if not by this Sept then by next Sept right?

I'll have to look at the progress pics from another computer as they are blocked at work

Judge273 04-14-2009 09:20 PM

I don't know about completion dates, but things are moving quickly. Off to the blaster, and powdercoaters could keep things moving at a good pace.
