My buddy has a 67, next week he's gonna drop in a rebuilt 302. All he has so far are cut-outs and full custom exhaust system. 

Love classics though, you just get this awesome vibe that you don't get in a modern car.

What happened to the paint? Is it a metallic white? You should be able to block sand the whole car yourself and buff it to perfect. Wet sanding can save even the shittiest paintjob sometimes. I am going to be watching this build I like it a lot!

the guy told me he was going to paint the car cadiliac pearl white with a color changing blue to gold pearl....then he changed it up on me....i will have to get it painted agian maybe i'll wet sand to see what happens...

lookin good man, that's messed up about what happened to the paint job.  how much did you drop on that?

nice build you got going on.. we get full restoration classics once every couple months but it's amazing how they come out from before pics. here's one we got right now that I want to share. Still have to coat the floor pan, trunk, and engine bay with some special anti rust and take off the suspension for repaint. A lot of work involved for restoring, this guy didn't want to go all out so he skipped out on the frame work.

that whip would be sick to own...went all over town to find the parts for my rear end......and you guy told me my drums would come in on sat then after i bought it he said monday...so looks like i have to wait until next weekend to put the wheels on....

WHen he gave it away the car wasn't lowered and didnt have wheels. It was a bone stock Cressida that I believe at the time needed a new head gasket.
 
Theres another guy in this forum [URL]http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5576[/URL] that needs his Cressida gone he's asking $300.  
 
I got a quote from dependable autoshippers for transporting and its about $600 from Dallas to Seattle.

Fixed that ^ 340 isn't the same architechture. 

This car nearly crosses into the wires territory. Some purple bass boat flake lace inlays and you are golden.

It looks awesome.
