My Dad was looking at buying him a new one when I found this. Thought it would be much cooler to restore an original one then to buy one of the new chincy ones. Definitly a fun project to do, Glad its done tho, There is roughly 50-60 hours into all of the work that went into the car :lol:
 
Man it looks really cool and one off how old was it? Def something that should be passed on not sold when he out grows it
 
Thanks for all the compliments. Its is a 1970-1972 seems there is no way to tell the exact year of it. It definitly will stay in the family just incase for some crazy reason I ever have any kids :lol:
 
That is awesome! My dad does a lot of bartering with those. He did one up just like his 58' Chevy (in the For Sale Section). Has a few others for my nephews. Those are a lot of fun. Nice work man.
