Progress Pics of the Ultimate Giveaway Car!

He's a good guy, no doubt about that. Hard to believe he's from Dundalk. :eek: :biggrin:

Lutherville & Hereford Bud ;)
Still have a house up there in White Marsh ;)
Not sure why the pics are looking so dark. I guess it's time to get a new camera after 2 years.
More pics heading to Shane now.
Engine pulled it is Matching #'s.
Trying to arrange transport for the cage work & paint work.

Another Suprise is That Arizona GN is sending a set of Valve covers, Thanks again Nick.

Sharif stopped by loaded it up & is on the way to S.C. He does alot of towing for us & will be heading to IL. soon picking up an 85 T. he just doesn't know it yet LOL :biggrin: I'll post up his info shortly.

Scott of Chassis Pro Race Cars will be doing the 6 point cage soon. Very very knowledgable on cages & our cars. Support these guys as much as you can they are giving the material & time so some one will be getting a nice T & raising the $ for Toys for Tots.
So keep your eyes out for the car heading to:

Seneca,S.C. 29678
Call Scott & see what he can do for your car.

looking good. i think someone needs to donate a nice rear end cover for her.
 
Are you painting it the original color?

What is the end goal here, a 10 second drag car, or a street/strip car?

It's looking good, a new dark blue interior and a new light blue silver would be a beautiful combo, IMO.
 
The car arrived last night at 1:00am. I just so happened to still be up and we got it unloaded and put in the shop. We've already started on it. I'll post some pictures later.

Nice meeting you Scott. For those who don't know, Chassis Pro Race Cars build some serious stuff! There were several Turbo Buicks there and also a 1600hp Turbo Mustang! I will be taking my car there to have a cage built once he finishes the donation car. By the way Seneca, SC is not the place to be goofing off at 1am. I got pulled over once so the police could see if I had a muffler on my truck and again when I pulled over to check the map. The last time I got a police escort to Tokeena rd by a police officer named Barney (I'm not kidding).
 
It was nice meeting you to. Man they pulled you over for loud exhaust on the truck??? You must have woke him up when you went by. LOL. :D I think I know the cop (barney) he's a real winner. ;)
 
Here are some progress pics or the bar being installed.

Just getting started

Since the car has new Kenwood speakers, we decided to move the speaker mounts instead of running the rear bars thought the openings.

The bar is done. Now just need to reinstall the parts of the floor we cut. and patch a few places in the floor.

BTW, I will have the car down at Reynolds on Saturday if anyone wants to come by and check the progress.
