Default Our 89 Notchback Race Car, Restoration. Lots of pics

Well first off let me start by saying this is not a LS swap but it is a 421 SBC. My father and I have been working on this for a few years now here and there. Some people may know the car from the philly area. It was Marcus Thompsons old BBC car. My father is the mastermind and body guy behind this project and the money. I just picked the car and wrenched and helped as much as i could. He is a very very picky person but thats the kind of person you want when restoring cars. So much detail has been put into this project...

But here are the pictures.

Day we looked at it and decided to buy it.
