1971 Basket Case Resurrection

[scoose]

I've owned it since '87.  Drove and raced it for 6 years, started a restoration in 2000.  Had to stop due to loss of a job and just started to find the finances in 2012 to start again.  Unfortunately the long delay took a serious toll. 

I'll start with the oldest pics I have:

Pulling the motor in 1990 after I spun a rod bearing



One of my favorite pics of the car...unfortunately it has the X-Wife in it as well.  Concord California 1992

Not since Aug of 92.  I was stationed in Vallejo at Mare Island in 91 and 92.  Got to race at Sonoma on many weekends.  I'm now just south of ATL.
