WOW what an amazing transformation. I love the way the car turned out. Joe you have great taste. The only thing the car needs is some spacers to push the wheels out a little.

Thanks, and yes I already am in the process of getting some spacers or rebuilding the wheels to fit properly. I have a couple more small things to do, including raising the car up a little more, rolling the rear inner quarters, clutch and flywheel, and ring and pinion.

Joe,

We met briefly at PR Saturday during the Toy Run. That is one sexy beast you have there. The before and after pics of this build are impressive, but until you spend some time walking around the car and really looking at all the details you just can't comprehend the what Joe has done on this car!

Thanks for bringing her out on Saturday. I hope the next time I see you I will have some more time to talk. (read, I will leave the wife at home when it is that cold out next time! lol)

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks guys, I need to get some new professional pics up. The car is raised up a bit more now, and has 7mm and 14mm spacers. We have had some poor weather up here.

Yeah I know I can't wait for you to take some more pics, but the weather needs to get a little better. I would like to get some pics in the sun with a clean car. Thanks for the pics so far and the offer, looking forward to taking you up on it.

Yeah, I picked it up used from a wrecking yard in California, I know I need to get another one I just haven't got around to it yet. Those things are like $300 a piece new.
