Thanx for the kind words. I appreciate it !!!. I can't take all the credit for this tho as it was Tim Hennessey who was the one who did the restoration on this worn out old work horse back in the mid 80's. I acquired the car in 2000 & did a mechanical overhaul on it as it had too many years of show car duty. The paint is still the same as it was applied in 1986. As Marfen has asked; this car was sandblasted from front to rear on jackstands on a driveway & then painted in a double car garage on a rotissire. No high end down draft paint booths required here.Just a real good paint & body guy.No clear applied,just old school acrylic enamel.
I drive this car every chance I get,& it sees alot of street miles. I'm a believer that these cars were built to be used, so it does frequent the race track when the need arises.
