Very Sweet Bird! I had a 1969 which I bought when I turned 18, LOTS of Great Memories in that car. Mine was blue and features in a story I wrote a while ago but haven't finished yet, I'll have to post it when I'm complete.

Cheers,

BDA

Sweet looking car you have Kent, Can I have a ride? My dad was a big time car show man, I loved going and riding in the old cars, people would stare and drool ...Loved it. My dad had a '39 Chevy Coupe(my absolute Favorite) '51 Chevy ( had my senior pics taken with this car, but wasn't the car I wanted to use) and he still has his '29 Ford Roadster. If I had the money/time/ LOL I would have a '56 Chevy Bel-Air or some kind of Coupe.

Here are some shots of before and now. the car looked good but had never been taken off the frame. I wanted to go throught the car and know what I got. I'm slow on restorations and will probably be a year or two before i'm finished. Frame and drive train are done. 455 60 over with a close ratio 4 speed muncie.
