None of my cars are restored to stock. What fun would that be. In fact, the Cyclone was stock when I bought all the way down to Fomoco headlights and running points. So much so that I thought the suspension might be dangerous until upgraded. The car is now e-headed, roller motor, running efi, 2500 stall, and 3.70 gears. Doing the barracuda right now and just got the metal done but upgraded to 73+ kframe and suspension, 11" drums in the back, and looking to go with a roller efi motor also. Day 2 is just so much more interesting to me. It was back in the day and is still now.
