Unfortunately I can not take credit for building this car and I don't know who did. I bought it about two years ago and have only made a few minor modifications. I had the trans redone with stock gear ratios and replaced the 537 r&p with a set of 486's in order to get to and from runs easier. Although now I wish I would have kept the close ratio 3rd gear. The front end was breaking springs badly so I replaced them with a set of Swayaways and have had no further problems. While I had the front-end apart I also replaced the trailing arm bushings with neoprene bushings to cut down on wear. The only other addition was a CB radio.

This car is a rush to drive across the desert at 50+ mph. I've climbed hills that four wheelers couldn't get up and made it look easy. They are amazed to watch it, and even more amazed after I give them a lift.
