History
I purchased the shell over 25 years ago to be rebuilt as a club car, weekend racer, but it got out of hand during the build. I'm very fussy and we ended up building a pro touring tuff street car. The car is fully engineered as is and is legally registered with a 427 big block chevy for over 25 years.
