I will trade you for the 70 442 Resto Mod we have in the shop right now! We have to completely remove ALL the wiring in the car and throw away. They also ran the fuel lines and battery cables inside the frame rail and then filled it with expandable foam. I could go on and on.....The &quot;restorer&quot; went out of business right after completing this car. Imagine that! Would you believe the car is owned by an Attorney? I could not believe he actually wrote the check to the builder. Sad what we see on a day to day basis.

Ha Ha that looks like the rats nest of wires I pulled out from under the dash of a car that came from a place that charges $125 an hour... it is amazing what people will put their name to.
