Thank you.

I have since sold the '84 and recently the '57 (the '57 sale is funding my current project). I have a project journal I kept of my '57 here:

It's also had some local notoriety as it was on a local cable TV car show commercial (hawthorne, CA "teen challenge" car show 2008), it's been inside the San Diego Padres stadium (July 19th 2009) at a Hot Wheels sponsored event game day, as well as the deco was based on my car for the Hot Wheels 2009 Treasure Hunt "'57 Fury". (even has my name on the license plate)

The car is now somewhere in Lake Jackson, Texas.

some youtube videos of my '57:

My '84 I never fixed us cosmetically. I performed the LS1/ 6 speed swap and even got it CA smog certified (what a PITA that was!) Never again. That was a big part of the reason I sold it and decided to build a pre smog car such as this '67.

I have a small "car domain" page on that car here:

This link, below, is from the guy who bought it from me and what he has since done with the car. (some of the pics are the same):

Also, a video of my '84:

I did take this car to Willow springs before. It was a lot of fun until my master cylinder quit on me- ending my open track day early. It was fun running with modern corvettes and mustangs. I don't think anyone expected this car to keep up.


-------

the 67 is a rusty original 326ho car. It was never previously restored, which I liked so I'd avoid having to fix other peoples hack jobs. However, I'm going to need to learn to weld to bring this one back. It's not twerrible, but will take some work in the usual spots.
