Re: First picture post of my '70 .... how's it look? (Bob Jenkins)
Thanks for the comments! It's been a labor of love for over a year now! Yes I am a member of the '70 registry. Details on the car.... boy where do I start... engine bored .040 over, roller rockers, roller lifters, roller cam, original L46 engine and 4-speed tranny, MSD ignition, new front end bushings, front and rear springs and shocks, new pneumatic tubing, new headlight and wiper door actuators, new carpet, new seat covers, new gauge lenses, new door panels, new windshield and window glass, new weather stripping, power steering kit, bumpers rechromed, stainless polished, 3 coats of Rally Red paint and 4 coats of clear coat, power brakes to come... hmm.. what else.. I've had the car for a little over 7 years. Found one of the original owners in Conn. and he knew the original owner who owned it for 17 years. If my calculations are right, I'm the 5th owner. Non-A/C car, but I may install that next year. AM/FM radio working, fiber works, clock works. Basically the car is brand new after I got through with it. The only thing I regret is not doing a frame off on it. Not enough time nor motivation! Anyway, I'll try and post some more pics of the engine and interior. Thanks again!

That is one sweet looking ride. I am thinking that mine is going to wind up being red when I get ready to paint. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours looks in that picture. I still have a lot of work yet though. Next step in my process is to do the paint or interior.
