I tried to post some but apparently are too large - i can sure email them to someone?? I am trying to not only get some history but maybe even some additional pics of the car in its hayday. When I got it one door was still in 'Beefeater' paint and when I removed the new crappy quarters they welded over the originals I unvealed the same paint scheme under there. It looked to be cranberry red with a large white stripe the width of the door down the side where it said beefeater and had some angus cattle farm sponsoring. I have currently got it as far as painted, running and trying to finish up interior and final assembly. I am going day two with it (headers, al. heads, traction bars) but the rest is restored to original. Was thinking of maybe going a step further and putting the paint scheme back together or at least close? I have no paperwork on the car but the original motor, heads, intake, carb and rear end. Correct dated muncie. Actually I take that back - 95% sure on original block, dated correct but can't read a vin. All other signs point to it being an L78. My question is am I stupid to maybe go back to the racing vintage with it? I will stop rambling - will get someone pics if they can help me post.
