Red Dawn Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hello everyone, I have been on this forum for a short time compared to most of you and have finally got my car to a state of completeness where I can share pictures with you. When I bought the car it was in Ohio and I was told it was originally a California car. As you can see from the pictures, this is a resto-mod with quite a few modifications. Some of the modifications are 66 401 bored out .60 over w dual quads, 66 ST400, 3.23 posi in a 65 Riviera rearend just to name a few. Also, thank you to those that shared their words of wisdom while the modifications were being done. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
