This will be my son's Christmas present. I figure that Adam can wreck his mustang before he wrecks mine.

He has a better shine on his car than I do on mine!

A former student of mine is a painter and does streetrods and such. He did a hell of a job on this one!

Still has some minor dings and such--I didn't do much bodywork to it--but after Adam is done with it, and any other brothers/sisters he might have are done with it, it'll get a proper restoration and become my toy.



Ok, so I'm a geek.

When I disassembled the rear end, I was disappointed to find out it wasn't a traction-lok! HOWEVER, the shocktowers are wide enough for a bigblock!

Adam saw a little boy with one at a MCA show in Biloxi and really liked the little car, so I searched around and went for it. They are only young once.

Crank. From what I can figure out, it is either a 71 or 72 model AMF.
