Hey Muttly, welcome here. Looks like you're a newbie.

How about a profile on you/your car?

Here's some more. With the better weather I'm hoping to get out and get some good shots.

Stephenzone,

Sometimes there's sun. Depends on the way the wind is blowing.

Like the car especially with the vinyl roof neat combo.
Noticed that big poncho motor, did you do many upgrades to it or is it mild?.

Great looking ride, that 455 must be a real torque monster.

Works pretty good. I tried to make it look pretty mild at 'first glance'. I might grind the Edelbrock logos off the heads for a little more stealth.

I like the vinyl too. A lot of people said leave it off, but I think it's the way these cars were.

Nice build, the motor would be a torque maker.
I just fired up my 464 /400 stroker this week and went for a short spin. A good buddy looked at me and said, i cant kick the smile off your face. I also went with e heads but full roller valvetrain.
I love the stealth look makes people guess. Speak softly but carry a big stick.
