An Ebay Car a/c sunroof some other options , cool car , It looked like a driver .

Who wouldnt have bought this ..
Its a real Winchester- Gunmetal Grey car.

The market was high then .. So you know it was decent money , but I figured no rust , and it was pretty clean . But it was hit , and i figured it out after paint . no big deal ..

At the time I thought it was gonna be state of the art a magazine car , Im sure theres been three or four similar cars built with the same idea..

But mine will be cooler

So my plans were

do anything that would pee the purists off
make sur nothing was numbers matching
media blast
5K for paint
Passon overdrive - 4 Speed
XV mods
dana
and Alterkation .

All happened except for the 5K paint job , try double that .. It was worth it though .

And if not the painter has made up for it for three other projects that popped up in between.

Then the crazy happened ...

My body man moved locations ..

The car was in limbo for months .. The good thing

was that I bartered the whole deal with him.

We remodeled his house and shop , I did the heating , it worked Out OK ..

Except I had sold my GTX and I was bored to heck ..

So I got sidetracked , this driver came around
