    that is awesome. I want to get a muscle car someday but my 55 chevy pickup is going to give me the time to work on a classic before diving into what I really want.

    Outstanding! I am a huge classic muscle car guy. I currently own 2 stingray Corvettes one of which I have owned for over 30 years. Nothing like a carb and distributor. Do "progressive" maintenance on her and she will run forever. The 302 is one of the finest engines Ford ever designed, absolutely bullet proof. If you need any help PM me. I currently have two other Classics in my rebuild mill right now, both Ford 66 F100's.

    Gotta love that hard bodied Detroit iron ....

    Have fun with her .....

    Interior needs a total redo, found a kit online at Mustang depot for 700 including seats, door panels, headliner, visors, window seals, carpet, etc. That'll be after all the mechanical is done and after body work.

    I'm already having a blast! It's been a long time since I had my own muscle, never stopped turning wrenches but it was always on someone else's ride.

    I love the C3 vetted, some of my favorite cars. Post some pics!

    Both of these pictures are about 5 years old, don't really have a new ones. The blue coupe is my wife and I at Vettes On The Rockies up at Breckenridge, and the Vert is at the dam of the lake that I live at here in NM.

    Both very nice. I like the hood on the blue one. I've been helping a friend out with his 72 for the last six months or so, I'll have to get some pics of it.

    That hood has a story behind it. We like it too, but is was a process to cover a ProStock scoop hole that came out at the high pressure area of the windshield area like they did in the 70's. The blue car was a ProStock competitor and was crashed scrubbing off the body along the guard rail on the drag strip. A friend bought the car, rebodied it and my shop built a 300 hp small block and we built one of my racing automatics to go behind it. We were building it up covertly as he was getting married and he wanted to go on his honeymoon in it as a surprise for his bride. The hood ... had this hole it it from the drag racing scoop. We bought a "mini L88" hood scoop from JC Whitney to cover up the boo boo. . It worked so well, it has been on there for over 30 years I aquired the car from him about a year later (81).

    They both are starting to need paint again, I rebuilt both interiors in the mid 2000's. We enjoy them.

    You know, I hadn't even noticed that scoop is just a smaller version of the L88 scoop, it's obvious to me now! It looks good!

    So you redid the interiors? I helped a friend do a back seat once, but I know I'm going to be nervous when I get to that point and start hog ringing, etc. Was out pretty difficult or not to bad?

    It is not hard, but you need a lot of muscle and help holding things in place. My suggestion would be to check out Al Knock Interiors for your supplies http://www.alknochinteriors.com/. They quality and fit can't be beat. You can ship (or take) the seats to him and you get a very professional job. Your choice. I did the coupe myself and had them do the vert. Both came out the same, but the vert was a hell of a lot easier
