    Looks like a good car to start with. Is that a fiberglass grabber hood?

    I'm not crazy about color but not sure if I want to do a color change.Paint time is a long way off still.Dan, who does your paint? I am planing to do restomod Boss or Shelby theme on car.Those Ranger wheels have got to go! I just ran across a 65 Falcon sprint w/351w built w/new c-4,out of car,for $500. Is that a deal or what?!!! Just what I need another project!May be selling Falcon body if I get car.

    FoMoDave; let me know when you sell the Falcon. I like those a lot, and need another project for next year. Keep me up on it. Earl

    I had a local body shop do my paint ... He told me he wants no referrals for old cars ... he mainly does late model insurance work. $500 sound like a great deal. Since that Grabber hood looks nothing like a Boss or Shelby hood I guess you'll just have to give it to me! :)
