Man Jeff, that looks terrific! Stout Stroker PowerPlant, Fat meats, aggressive stance. :thumbsup: ( I'm sold on the 'chin' spoiler& rear deck wing) What 'sold' me on my '73' was the Flip-Top Gas cap, never mind the solid body :lol:

Thanks brother......im pretty happy with it....owned it since 95 been a long project....yeah i like the stance and big wheels...not everyone does......it actually doesnt handle too bad now that i lowered it down and with the new ebrock valved shocks and big meats it aint too bad....nothing like yours is gonna handle...but like i said....im not a big twisty kinda guy....like too pin my head back into the seat more than anything...and this ole girl does a pretty good job of it...lol.....
