Cool JRoss22!!!!  I remember firing up the little 318 three years ago before I dug deep into the resto...Even that was a fun time just getting it running.  How much bodywork do you have to do to it?  The exterior looks to be in really nice shape rust-wise, so you shouldn't have it too bad. :thumbsup: :cheers:

The only bodywork I really think it needs is in the pillars theres  little bondo that needs to be replaced bc of the factory work since they just slapped a vinyl top on the car and then there is a small crease in the drivers door that me and my friend are pulling out wih a dent puller almost have it out allt he way. Then it should be off to the body shop to be blasted any metal work that needs to be done then painted. One of my friends is going to be getting me this number to an interior guy he knows I have seen pictures of the work he did on this guys chevy and it is like top of the lin work.

Thanks it is alot of fun :burnout: and the engine sounds that way thanks to the exhaust beig cut off right at the rear axle. I was tired of starig at the rusted tips on the car so I just figured its going to be getting all new exhaust in a few months just cut it.

It was really great just wish it looked like all of your cars. So just wondering what would be the best tires to run on the car?

Lol I have had an ear to ear grin on my face since friday is hasnt gone away evern with getting yelled at by my mom lol the smile wont go away. And I just realized the last video cuts out right b4 the best part. As you notice there is another car coming towards us which that would be my neighbor well she got a little suprise got a little rubber smokin as i passed her up lol I couldnt resist it. But im done smoking those tires for now I think they are like 10yr old tires maybe older but they are holding up for now. Lets just see if they last on the way to the tire shop.
