We started this build about 5 years ago. Paul the owner was not in a hurry and at the time we were having problems with reliable body men. We since found a good body man who has done other work for us.

The car was purchased in Florida by its original owner, she had alot of fun with the car slalom racing. She then move up to Pensylvania were she passed on and left car to her brother. A few years of the car sitting in his garage he then sold it to Paul.

Looks like a nice, straight chassis. It should look great when returned back to the Signal Orange color.

Be sure to check the hellhole (underneath and in front of the battery) for rust before starting any paint project.

Does anyone know why the factory painted the top of the shock towers black on the factory -6s? Mine is done the same way, and I could never really figure out why.
