That is BEAUTIFUL, was it a minor or major restoration ??? I want a bumblebee.


It was a Major project. I have another Bumblebee that's a major if you're interested let me know. It's matching # and i have a COA.


Wow, major ? did you have to work on the longs or hell hole. What was the worst part of the restoration if you don't mind sharing? I find it interesting bringing them back to life.

I keep coming back to this post to admire the exterior, extremely sexy, the color contrast even gives her the illusion of a slimmer midsection.

I also would like some details of the restoration experience. What was the hardest thing to source? Most frustrating? Engine specs?

I did a resto mod on a DATSUN and swore to never attempt something like that again, it took too much out of me, LOL, but of course it was worth it.

Again, congratulations on a beautiful restoration. Looking forward to seeing some action photos.

Damn nice stance to that car. Looks perfect.


I agree.....can you provide us with some suspension details? Beautiful car!



I love the stance also however that was me just eye balling it. It goes to Alignment next week so we'll see what Darin at West End can do. I like it lower but not sure if he can keep it this low. I have Bilstein Sports on all 4 corners. I'll post a finished stance phote when it's done.


They definitly look best low and slightly nose down.
It becomes a compromise between stance and achieving livable alignment at the
extremes of adjustment.
What a beautiful car ! Great job.

Beautiful car! Great stance. What tire size are you running and how much did you lower it?
