    Photos are too big to load to the site. However, I have comprehensive documentation of the ENTIRE restoration - PM me with your e-mail address if you would like a few.

    Price? I prefer not to post the number publicly - PM me if you would like my specific asking price.

    The car will be at the Swap Meet on Sunday for those who'd like to get a first-hand look at the car. I will be available at the Swap Meet to discuss the car with interested parties.

    You had me going untill that bit of detail. You would have thought that a car this well put together would have had all the details done correctly.
    They should have been DUNLOP.
