Joe adds,
"After sandblasting and painting, the frame/suspension/steering/rear end were re-assembled with rebuilt or new components. We had to remove the Chevy motor mounts that had been welded to the front cross member; the car most recently been powered by a small-block Chevy. The rear end was built by Danny’s Transmission in Windsor with a gear set from Drive Train Specialists in Warren, MI. Most of the suspension, brake and fuel system components came from Ames Performance. The fuel tank is from Qantas."

It's done! Joe comments,
"I registered the car to be judged in the 'Concours - Restored' category at the 2009 GTOAA Nationals. First time out, the car was judged at the 'Silver' level. The tough question is: Should I drive it or spend the time and effort to get it to 'Gold'?"
