    I wish the snow around here would finally give it up. I've got spring fever and want to get my car back to the track and finish getting it tuned in. I've had it out the last couple of days and blew the cobwebs out of it. It sure was fun!

    SWEET looking ride.

    Looks like it's a '69 with maybe a "few" adjustments made to it!

    You're right, it is a '69 with quite a few adjustments made to it. Trying to keep it stock looking except for the narrowed rear end.
    Thanks

    Ice is melting I have a project boat that has a slightly overrated motor on the back, something about going 45 mph in a 300 pound boat is exciting.
