This is ugly to see how floor got cut. The rubber mat just fell apart as soon as it was touched. It too is trash.

Get well!

The new building sounds exciting, I am a 1.25 car garage guy mysel:-)

El Malo looks almost new in the important areas, but the bigger question...........did you remove the dead mouse from the grill or did The Mrs:-)

I haven't found any mice in my car yet but the headliner was lunch for some critters years ago:-(

&quot;Spectacular&quot; is high praise from a guy with a couple of &quot;blow your mind&quot; Post Cars:-)

Original engine and trans long gone :-(

Lots of deals on decent stock HP 69/70 Olds 455's around Dan but tough when a stick as Olds engines seldom have cranks drilled for pilot bushings.
Here's a shot I can share of your cars W31 Post cousin up here up here in Canada, tach added when new and is a Dixco.
I've been checking in regularly w/ the original owner for years, he and his wife aren't quite ready to let it go yet but told me I get 1'st crack when they are...pic from when it changed storage locations a couple years back.

Thanks Ryan, that was actually published the weekend of MCACN last November.

Actually started the clean up and dis assembly on El Malo. Rather Greg Godon has at his shop. A few random pics, but they really don't tell much.

Basically got the interior gutted and cleaned up, and de-moused. Front clip, bumpers, gas tank is off pending pulling the body so the frame can get cleaned up and painted. The paint has its issues but it looks like much of it can be buffed. Selectively taking off some of the stickers. Want to present it to look as close to &quot;as raced&quot; during the first two years - 1969 - 1971 period. I'll post more in the coming weeks/months when there's something to share.
