All original with history to the first owner, got to talk with the last owner.

I'm going to need your HELP...
 
Now that I've posted a few pictures, I'll start at the beginning in a few days.

It's 2 great builds with some experts doing the body and mechanical.

I get to assist in some of the assembly after a driving 1006 miles from Florida to Virginia.

I'm going to need help with the oil lines, wheel fitment and lots more...

I have a lot of experience with the Kuehl AC system, Singer style interior creation, wiring, LED and projector headlights.

A lot of requests for parts, I am keeping everything until I am complete with both builds.
