This is my Baby girl her names Bobby Sue!, My name is steve and i'm 20 years old and i'm a full time mechanic. I started restoring her 3 years ago, she's an original Brown 383 car, But i'm going to put in a MOPAR performance crate engine in and have her painted Black., she's come a long way since i first got her home, underneith was a mess the torsion mounts were completely rotted out,the floor pans under the front seats were missing, every one called it the flintstones car! the rear frame rails and spring mounts were pretty rusted not to mention the rear valance, trunk and many other parts of the car. for unknown reasons whether it be from an accident or previous rust cancers the original round exhaust tip like tailights were replaced with the rectangular tail lights off a 1969 charger, I got the car media blasted and really cleaned it up. the car has been in the Body shop for over a year and is almost completed more pics to be added soon of Bobby Sue and her new shinny Black Paint!
