This is my 1971 standard I've had this car since i was 14 it has been the biggest project of my life. the story behind this car is that I've had the car since i was 14 it was given to me for a summers work so i could have a car instead of cash i was very happy. Every year since I have been pickin away at it little by little.... this car is pretty much my baby its the only car i really value as mine i dont think i could ever give it away. I will repost pictures everytime i do somethin different just to show progress. thanks for looking

As soon as I get my 69 I will be able to post some pics of it up. I am stuck in Iraq right now and when I get back is when I am planning to get one.
