Please graduate #5764 - Graduate # 23 of 2012
This has been a long time coming, worked on & off since 2008. The car has a 302cid, Tremec 3550 trans. 355 ford rear end, three link, did all the work myself except the paint. I must say the body work was an experience. Would do it again, but quite a bit faster.

Just wanted to thank everyone here on the Forum for all the help, couldn't have done it without you. Sorry for not many posts or pictures over the years, I am terrible with computers, had to even get my daughter to post these pics.

Thanks again!
