So I got the bug from this site and decided to start on it now instead of summer. Arizona car with all its original panels, I bought it from a guy who restored the frame, engine and underside of the body. I will paint the engine the correct metallic blue when it warms up. Front clip goes on next week so I can start blocking out the body.

Hopefully good ones! What you didn't see in the back ground is the chassis for a 56 chevy truck im doing. The GTO is motivating me to get the truck assembled so I'll have more room for the goat. I think I have too many oars in the water..lolOh-boy, does that bring back memories!!!
