This is an original
390 4 speed car. Cool car to begin with but it needed to be stepped up a notch.

I�m swapping a 3g 130 amp alternator in this weekend and then working on
designing some subframe connectors. When I done sorting out the suspension and
driveline I want to paint the car the original Jade Black color but will still
do the hood and taillight panel in the flat black (I sprayed them that way as an
experiment for the look).
