When I found the car, for a friend, it had been wrecked. The frame was bent and the body was a mess. The friend stripped it out and raced it, and then sold it to me. I back halved it, but it still ran dog legged, thus came the tube chassis. Also this car hasn't had a title since the first time I saw it.

Thats fine....I was just trying to make a point. My truck was a real mess when I got it...People say to me..."Why didn't you use the flathead"...I didn't get one, the engine was missing, the front end was shot, I used what made sense to me.

I was just saying, that the GTO is his car and he shouldn't be preached to as to what he does with it.

I saw a real nice 64 Plymouth on B-J auction the other day....Hemi car.........Thing is, it is a 331 Hemi from the 50s.........Is that car ruined too?
