Newby from Mississippi
« on: April 07, 2007 - 08:14:24 PM »
This is what my wife calls the "other woman!" My dad gave me the fever when he was restoring a 70 T/A 4 speed in lime green (sassy grass?) It was the first car I got to drive but unfortunately it was totalled in Germany where he was stationed in the US Army in 1980. :wavingflag:

I am new at this so I didn't realize it would make it that big. I downsized it some but will try to add it to this post.

Looks good to me!  I like the color combo.  Black/Flat Black.  Looks sinister.

Thanks, the flat black is actually gray primer but will be painted a semi gloss black soon. :working:

I am in Ellisville, MS close to Hattiesburg. I was hoping I might get to see that monster of a hemi there! Maybe we will meet at the Mobile show if you make it. I hope to bring mine but last year something prevented it at the last minute. I have been through several water pumps and finally figured out it must have been the clutch fan causing it after trashing the radiator. Anyway good to talk to you.
