Here are the latest shots of my current project. I've kind of hodge podged together alot of different mods and many may think I've ruined a nice old car, but it's gonna be all the cool things I like (and can afford). The donor car was gonna be junk in 5 years or so, so I figure, if I saved it's life, it's no crime to do some non-stock stuff to it. It is a '75, retro styled, carb'd 2056, with auto-x suspension (eurathane bushings, 180# springs, 21mm torsion bars, 21mm front bar, solid engine and trans mounts, bump steer kit, turbo tie rods). Many thanks for all the help from Brad Mayeur, Central Illinois Region. Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

I see nothing wrong with your car at all. In fact, IMHO, the only way to have a 75-76 is with the retro-mod. Nice looking car and well done.

Your car-do what you want with it. Drive it like you stole it.
