    Well I have made some serious progress getting the Tbird ready to go. She is back to being a running and driving car again. I have a few more set up things to do but we should be good to go for the first race in a couple weeks. But, I got to make a little noise and smell some C23 this afternoon so that always helps the motivation factor

    That's tempting but when I see leaves in the interior and the car sitting on the frame rails my mind quickly turns to the dark side of the equation. It did say that it needs FULL restoration though and I'm sure he ain't lyin'.

    Yup.......Not a $1200 piece. More like I will pay you to get it out of here.

    Stopped at the body shop to pick up the mirrors for my sons Impala S/S and checked on the Olds project. I know this is not what we like but this thing is well done.
    Damn.....I like the paint.

    The Cuddy has all after market suspension. A completely rebuilt/up-graded 12 bolt. The engine is by the Mouse. My guy did the Transmission. It has 12.2" rotors and 4 piston Calipers all from Wilwood. Aluminum radiator with twin 12" fans.
    Not much (nothing) un-touched.

    Nope, I do not like the stance or the wheels but mechanically it is sound.

    Good looking car. But yeah the stance and wheels just aren't my style.
