Nice straight body. Was this a car your Dad drove before?
What tail light lenses did your dad use James? Cust app.?
He didn't drive it except around in the yard. He bought it from member Glen Henderson. It was complete, had a 292 y block, was green and white with a green and white interior. He swapped the 292 out for a 4.6 4 cammer and automatic overdrive. Paint is black urethane with black and maroon interior.The body was a little less than straight, but he has worked it until it is pretty slick. The last time I saw it before these pics, it was in buff primer.
Jeff, the taillights are Lee custom units, you can still get them for about 50 or 60 a set. They were big back in the old days, they look awesome with the black paint. Do a quickie google search, and you can see what they look like better. They make them for everything.
Very nice James. Your dad does fantastic work!
Beautiful
James, how and what all was used in the 4.6 swap? I keep hearing the shock towers are to close and the 4.6 was to wide
Nice ride dad
