Found an old magazine with a story of the car when it had 426 Hemi,then it ran the 1/4 mile at 11.50 and 197km/h.
He stopped using it on the strip because the body panels started to get warped.

After hours of fixing some crappy old rust repairs on the front fenders,they are now ready to get the 71 buckets welded in and get some primer.
Also started to modify the rear valance :)
