It's obvious that a lot of good work and time went into this car.  The body looks real nice.  Even under the floor is painted.
     Is it standard or automatic and is the front end stock?  Inquiring minds...


ECODE-donnie is running a C-6(OR C-4).... He has told me numerous times... but I kinda glaze over just seeing his creation.
He is running a straight axle.... and I hounded him to chrome the front axle and stuff... but i think his Money Tree is withering and dying.
ha ha ha

Central Kommand center.....
Interesting note... a few years back we were in Detroit together(Autorama)..and some guy walks up to use and asks use if we want to buy a cool shift knob...
"uh,,ok?...let's see it?
He pulls out 2 moon shift knobs.... tells us he only made 2 as an experiment....
Donnies goes Batty... just like a fat kid on a Little Debbie cake.
They are really neat...real retainer springs... formed out of wee piece of aluminum....

I guess were just goofy.

Tear drop Thunderbolt scoop would look pretty good on it. Or a tunnel ram with a couple velocity stacks :003:

The straight front axle is what I was expecting to see.  It was hidden in the first pictures.  I know what you mean by the withering money tree.  Great work!!!!
Thanks Jay

I'd like to see the windshield wipers work with that blower.... :003:

Zapato

his money tree is ''withering'' and you want him to start over and build a blower motor ? Hmmmm

Seems every time I bring this car up can really figure out the paint color, just what color is it?

Thanks for all the positive comments on my car. Only took me a couple months to reply! The color is custom made by the painter, we call it Gasser Gold, why not!

Donnie, that thing is just too pretty to be a gasser!!! Hope you will be able to bring it to Columbus next year. It sure would be a big hit up there.
