Default New Project

Well, Here she is in all of her glory.. Still needs quite a bit of work, but she's pretty straight and has minimal rust (drivers side floor pan, pretty much it)

Flew out to LV to take a look at her and sealed the deal on Wednesday (36 hour banzai vegas trip. ugh).
This is a long term project, but it'll be fun.. now if I can get the motor in her that I want.. it'll be something you don't see every day..

1970 FastBack, 2 owners.
Currently has 302 with a 3 speed manual.. (that will change soon).

I've wanted a 69-70 Fastback for as long as I could drive, can't wait to start playing with this one..
Only bad thing is that time and money will be limited due to new baby and relocation taking place this year... but she'll still be sitting in my garage...

It'll be a fun street car, looking for a mild 600HP to play with...
Definately will be more of a "handling" car than a strip monster, but trust me she'll still scoot in a straight line...

Congrats, Derek. Sure wish you weren't going to TN though. You need to keep your ass here.

Yep, it just looks like it's going to work itself out that way Tony, but I'll be back to visit.. Thanks for the offer on the headers 69Boss521, but the combination that I'm going to (hopefully) put in will require some shorties...
