haha... I'm trying to figure out the wheels. Are they reversed with a ring?

And I love the raccoon face :D Tanuki Z. Though I'm not sure how long that would stick around if it were my car, it is unique...

It looks great... I love the white lettering always, but are the tires a bit oversized? I think that might account for it looking a bit nose-up.

hey thanks guys for all your response. it was restored 15 years ago when i picked it up it had been sitting for 9 years bad clutch. I just went through replaced most of the brakes master for the clutch also slave and a new disk. I think the rearend just needs to be brought up a bit the tires are like a 175 series. the wheels are just steelies with a beauty ring. and im not sold on the blackouts yet either i go back and forth between thinking there cool and wantinng to get rid of them. Thanks again for all your positive comments...

Very nice car!The headlight buckets are... interesting. Not sure if I like them or not... I think I do, but i've got to digest them a bit more.

Question is, how is the Engine and the frame rails/floorpan?

i was lucky enough that the last guy to restore the car undercoated everything from the rockers down and underneath. So suspension frame rails and all are in exellent shape. It does need a passanger floor pan possiblly a drivers one. My plan is to have the whole underside of the car sodablasted get the floor pans straightened out along with whatever else shows up after i blast it re undercoat it and go from there. It needs a new rear valance and a new rear deck lid where the hatch comes down the last guy bondoed it and it shows everything else is solid metal though
