Nice straight body. Was this a car your Dad drove before?

What tail light lenses did your dad use James? Cust app.?

[JPotter57]

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.

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
