Beautiful car Steve. I just did a 64 Fairlane for a shop. I think the renderings were in Hot Rod this month. If I'd known you were into them, I would have given you a heads up! Great work, especially for the low cost to build.

Oh, and that backdrop looks mighty familiar.

Very cool. So Chevelle-ish now. I love the Cobra wheels.
