Here comes another project. We’re gonna start on pretty soon.

I’m gonna have to enlist some help on this one!

The question is gonna be do we do a bit of metal work and clean it up and leave it to be a Rough Semi-Survivor or do we restore it? It’s gonna be a tough one. I’m leaning towards a Survivor.

It’ll be a few weeks before we show anything really more about it but believe me we’re looking hard at it right now!

We have picked up a Red 70 R 428 Cobra Jet Code 4 Speed, Mach 1 with white stripes.

The white stripes are a bit rare.

The white shaker and hood treatment is pretty distinctive.

Will be starting the Metal Work on this one and Paint and Body pretty quickly!

For those of you following, the James Bond diamonds are forever Red Mach 1. Here’s a little progress report.

The driveline is in the car we will have it fired off and running in a few days then we’ll have to add the exhaust system that takes another few days then we’ll be test driving.

Here are a few pictures of the interior.

We are going to build it and show it short a few details short that we will have to circle back to later.

Overall, looking pretty good, we expect to be completed in three or four weeks!

A quick update on the bond diamonds are forever Red Mach 1.

We ran the Engine for a second time yesterday other than a fuel leak at the fuel pump. It ran flawlessly. It’ll be going in the car this week.

The interior is in the car all we’re doing now is a lot of wrap up stuff and installing the driveline. This is a pretty quick process.

Will be driving and testing the car before the end of the month!

We will post some pictures when it’s completed and a Drive video!

The plans now are to have the car in Chicago for the Muscle , Car Nationals.

We’re hoping to get a Saturday morning time for a reveal to show it to the public!

Hello to all the followers of the Blue Oval Car Barn today we have a little catchup video on the Shop and a few announcements!

I filmed this in two separate videos and I’ll post them both so you need to watch the first one and then follow up with the second one. I broke in the middle because I had to issue with getting the hood open.

We were at the Yellow Rose car show last week and had a good show!

Hope to hear from you or see you all soon!

Lots of the you that follow the 1971 Grabber Lime Green Resto Monster asked for a stripe around the black hood treatment!

Well today we were able to get it done. I hope I get you’re approval on this one.

We’re still waiting on tires and wheels as soon as we have them we’ll post another driving video with a little bit of hot rod action and some good pictures because the car is basically complete now minus that.
