Here's the second version of the car after I bought it. This was during the Pro Street days, and I leaned toward that, without butchering the car up by tubbing it...but I did do some major changes to it.

Still had the roll bar in it, (although it was now a 3 point instead of a 4 point, so I could get in the drivers seat easier), took the SBC and automatic out and installed a 396 and 4 speed, removed the side pipes, removed the one piece rocker mldg. and installed the 3 piece RS style mldgs. and painted the lower doors, rockers, fenders and quarters black, (always liked the thinner Coke bottle look it gave the car when done like that, especially with a black vinyl top.) And ironically, installed a fiberglass hood with 7 inch snorkel scoop, similar to one it raced with and also installed chrome wheelie bars on the already installed welded on brkts that were on the Dana,.......and painted white Z28 stripes on the car.
