About “The Stang”

I have saved this car from heading to the junk yard. it was full of bondo and hardly ran.. Now it runs like a champ with a built 347 stroker.. I redid most the inside aside from the seats.. still working on getting that and all the body work done

About “Nova”

History:
-------------------------------
-Aquired: late 2002. Built from two separate cars (purchased together.. '70 and a '72).

-From: The cars were actually out of a junkyard that closed down and they were liquidating what was left.

-In The Works: After doing a quick engine pull to lay in some fresh paint, clean up some electrical, and do a hefty cam swap in 2006, I finally finished bodywork and paint in early 2008. Next up is finalizing interior while continuing to upgrade to high performance
