Bough this in April of 2021, as a challenge car.

I bought it because it came with a LOT of stuff like this:

Still have it.

It's WAY down on the project list, but I decided it needed a place for me to dump pics and documentation

That looks like quite a stash of parts. Dual quads.

I'm a big fan of lowered over some wide Meats on 15-in wheels that stuff the wheel wells full. Use the Dual quads and the four-speed and leave it white with a red interior, making it a sleeper with a NASCAR vibe. Clean simple understated with a nod towards a vintage NASCAR.

I second this.

Nascar look, low with wide steel wheels. For paint being it a four door I'd go with an early BTCC theme. Alan Mann raced all manner of Fords with a good look red/gold combo.

By the way, some have asked... the Hillman-Moody was a 'faux' type joke.

Iknow it's Holman Moody.

 

Maybe Hillman-Mouldy?

I'm thinkin' sleeper moonshiners car. Heck, it probably was at one point in it's life, being from North Carolina an' all. It looks perfect the way it is. Also, don't think 4 doors do as well as NASCAR tributes.

ok, so I spent the day working on the car, thinking that if I had the body 100% ready to go...I'd be more likely to want to put the engine together.

 

Well, it ended up being a day of one big chore. The love for the project has passed.

I have limited time and I have at least 3 other projects that need attention:

Austin Healey up keep

XKR Jag to assemble.

Challenge car WITH THE BOYS

46 CJ2a....

And a boat that needs re-assembly.

I won't even list the house projects.

So thats actually 5+ projects.. lol so yeah.. time to clear the deck.

There is just no reason to see it through if I'm not enjoying it.

I plan to try to sell it all in one shot. That includes the extra 360 and 390.....

When I get a comprehensive list and photos I'll list it in the for sale forum.
