Here I'm trying to capture the pearl "fire" both in the blue and white paint.


New tires & wheels and hood locks installed
nice, nice..

cannot recommend a 428cj-R swap -- the car was b.a.r.e.l.y able to handle itself with the entire factory drive-line changed out (ladder,stagger-shocks, on and on). When my brother used to uhmm.. hurry-with-friends.. he scared the shazbot outa' most since the car moved liked a bumble-bee and would present it's ass to their door as it slid a quarter lane over before the posi could lock up.. he wound up putting -monster- Ford-van radials on it as wide-ovals was 'spensive.. took him down to under an eighth-lane slide-over.

the winner, as far as -I- know for cowl-twisted-doors-barely-close-now convertibles of the era, lol. Hemi's had nuthin' on cj-R (tuned for proper jet-octane, o'course)
