Missed this thread
I'm sorry I missed this thread in the past. Anyway here is my home built project. I purchased the car in 1973 and it was my daily driver until 1976 at which time I started drag racing it exclusively. I raced it for about 10 years or so but got bored with drags and the car sat in the garage for the past 25 years collecting dust. When I decided to build a PT car I litterally dusted it off to begin the project hence the name "Dust Off". The car was driven on the street in April 2012 for the first time since 1976. The car is now a full blown PT with DSE subframe, G-Link four bar rear suspension, Moser 9" floater, coil over shocks on all four courners, Corvette C6 Z06 brakes, Forgeline 18x10 275 front and 18x12 335 rear. The car is powered by the same SBC and BW T-10 that I raced with in the 70s.
