Cool looking ride. Not sure about that driver side rear view mirror though. Hood scoops should be functional, I like the tucked rear bumper. If you can't hear your radio, you need a sound system. What kind of rear-end? It looks like it would be a blast to burn tires. I just sold my '91 Camaro Z28, drove the hell out of it during the summers. Got tough to get out of, so, I chose to sell. Have fun with it while you can.

I've missed it since I sold it. I like Muscle Cars, Classic Cars, Hot Rods, Chev (GM), Mopar, Ford (notice it's last)... You can still hear the mopar rumble, just temporarily turn down the volume, nothing like jamming while driving on the open road. My montra, drop a gear & disappear. Thanks for the comment, enjoy your ride.

Sure wish I had my 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler.---429SCJ w/2 4bbl carbs, hurst 4 speed. I could still get rubber in 4th gear. Only 1631 were built and only 341 with that engine. Only 13 were built like mine. I miss that car. Built for NASCAR right off the showroom floor with few changes. Guaranteed to do 170mph----and I can say that that is correct. Glad I'm still alive, lol.

Built this in high school with my old man before he passed away from cancer. Still have it, 4 engines and 2 paintjobs later. Currently running a 406 SBC that made 535hp on the dyno. TH400 trans, custom built 3200 stall converter, 3:73 gears, big ol stereo system (can drown out the engine if I want it to). Brought my girlfriend to prom in it back in the day, and we got married in it a few years ago. All my good pics are too large to upload here. If I can figure it out I will post more.

Wish I could find this 29 Model A my Dad made into a street rod in the 1980’s. Sold it around 1994, and I know it went to Pontiac, MI but not much more. Lost my Dad this year, and I always wanted that car back. Pic is from around 1990.

He also did a 37 Dodge as his first revamp. I just heard a story of how they got “the coyote tail” that was hanging from the antenna

Looks like a nice old truck! I wish my dad could have taught me some of these skills...... instead I learned to golf and I hated it!!!!
