Hey guys my name is E.J. and I recently purchased this car. Its pretty dang rough now but in due time I hope to have it back to its original luster. I'm 28 and this is my first major project car. From what i've gathered its a really rare body style and with the dual sidemounts even more rare.
I have many visions for how I would like to see the car, but I'd like to keep the original motor, and try and squeeze as much out of it as I can. I've been in touch with Flackmaster already so I hope to get some hard to find parts through him.
As far as suspension goes I'd love to see it laying on the ground but I know that wont sit well with the purists nor will removing the sidemounts which I also want to do. At this stage I just dont know the direction i'd like to take. One thing I do know for sure is that its never getting a small block chevy motor. Either this motor i have now, or a 9 main bearing straight 8 out of the later model.
Anyways I'll update as I go along but its gonna be slow haha
On to the pictures...
