what a fantastic story,nothing better to restore a car in honor of your dad.
i have been a chevelle guy all my life until i bought a 1970 challenger a few years ago,they are such a great looking car and man do they go like stink when a hemi or 440 six pack is tuned and running great!
attached is a photo of my 70' chally R/T S.E. 440 six pack 4 speed car.
all the best and i cant wait to see that hemi car finished
