Not sure what else is done to it, didn't look under the hood. It is really nice inside and out but he took it to the store one day and someone kicked in the door. The 67 he just bought and has no motor or trans but the interior looks nice. The body is done and he needs to paint it. The 67 is his, the orange 70 is his wifes and the one I bought was his sons.

I have met plenty.. I busted out the window of a truck one time because some fags were throwing stuff at my car. I keep a rock in the cup holder because usually I get pennies and bottles thrown at me about once a month.

Lol I am actually going to fix this one. I wanted to do the chevelle but it was filled with bondo.. This car is nice and shouldn't take much for paint. Plus my boss is going out of town so I should be able to have it painted pretty quick..

My car was dusty and parked overnight in a big parking lot a long time ago, I come out to my car in the morning to find shoe prints from the front of the hood all the way across my roof to my trunk and back.... no damage but still, who the hell just walks on a car??

Finally got the car back yesterday. A couple gears exploded and the fluid looked like silver spray paint with all the metal. He said the torque converter went bad throwing metal every where and destroying the pump. The car also had 6 cylinder internals and there was no way in hell it was ever rebuilt.

The car drives great now and the steering is awesome since he tightened up some of the front end components.. Maybe next week it will be painted.
