This restore took me alone just over a year plus 2 years before starting collecting parts. I mostly worked on it before I went to work from 3:30am to 5:00am in the morning. The afternoon and nights seemed all ways busy raising a family. The first 20 miles I brought it to a local car show and won 1st place in my class and best of show overall. The car will be in Mopar Action Magazine in April 2006 issue. I enjoy working on cars so much that the I jumped right in to my next project.
