Default Making progress
While waiting on the engine to be complete, the car needs a lot of work done to it to get it ready to race.... First thing is the rear brakes, they are drums that are getting converted to disc, started working on them yesterday Name: image.jpg Views: 992 Size: 289.3 KB

That first pic just glancing at it, I thought it was a Malibu. I guess it was because of the angle, hood and front grill setup with the headlight covers. I dig it!
