My new one is home!
Finally got the car here. Took it in on trade for some labor, hadn't seen anything of the car other then one look on a drive-by a couple months back.
Well, it's an ex-drag car, looks like a Chevy pickup straight axle on the front, stock front of frame was cut off, replaced with rectangular tubing, no brakes on the front, and some questionable steering components!!Sheet metal is in fairly good condition, trunk floor is nice, passenger compartment still has the stubs showing where the roll bar was originally welded in. Think it was a 'glass front end car, the sheetmetal that came with it is in rebuildable condition and even has some Bel Air trim with it, though the body itself appears to be a 210. Shot from the left rear shows my #1 guard dog on duty!
