It was a nice day so.....
A trip to the car wash and some fresh gas and a nice long ride was the cureall for the winter hibernation for my first love. Its the only stick ride i have and it felt nice to yank the hurst and push the clutch pedal its so much more fun than loafing in an automatic with a sleepy left footThis is only a mild steet car not a show car or a race car but it does have it fair share of work done to it too make it handle and fun to drive. i built the 355 16 years ago with 26k miles on it in that time an it still rips. my future plans are either building a 383 or dropping in the fresh 454 from the pontiac either way my plans are a t56 behind it i do have more pics but here are some from today enjoy

Re: It was a nice day so.....
Spent sometime on my neglected car the past few weeks, still gotta wash and wax it but the cover I keep on it really helps.
Had it out for a nice ride again the other evening and took some more pics since I didn't have any on this phone. Some were at the same old Mill as above,place just has cool character/looks. Installing some fat mat in it now it's a rattle box...poly everything don't help either. Since we all like pics ...Enjoy.

Re: It was a nice day so.....
Thanks. At the time I was building this car I was living with my granny And Helping each other out, she used too get so mad at me for spending my hard earned $ on a junker. Every time I bought something for it and if she knew about the purchase she would say... "You could have a brand new car if you didn't put it all into that junk". God bless granny rip. But I still have my junk.
