    Well after much debate I have decided to paint the Pacecar!!! So far the biggest pain has been removing the decals. I have about two and a half hours in that. My son and I spent some of Christmas morning taking it apart today. I ordered my decals from Phoenix graphics a few days ago. We are looking to get it done by the time they get here.

    Saawweeeeet!!!


    I think I'm getting bit by the PC bug. I have an idea for a 4 eye when money permits but a PC would be my next project after. Keep up the awesome work and keep the pics flyin'.

    Absolutely FABULOUS!!!. Whenever you decide to "update" under the hood, you know where to send "the old stuff"................ Best of luck with it.

    I have been playing with the idea of changing directions with my PC and I think your car pushed me over the decision peak. I have been toying with the idea of an EFI blower motor in mine with supporting chassis mods, brakes, etc.. But not doing anything that cant be reversed later if I choose too. You've nailed it with a car that has the "resto mod" touch and very tasteful modifications (bad a%%). Looks as if my race notch will loose its driveline LOL.

    I won a third place plaque in my class.I was cool with that considering my class was 1970 to 1979 That put me in with all the sweet 70 chevelles and stuff like that.Just good fun with the family. We go every year so it was cool to have the car there this time..
