It has taken me about 6 years. I have built it from the ground up. When I bought it, it was an empty shell with bullet holes and rust. I have done everything to it except the machine shop bored the motor .060. It took a lot of time and fabricating parts to get it done. I made the spare tire holder from scratch, put the corvette stingray type of exhaust down the side under both doors, racing bucket seats with 4 point harnesses, and dual cold air intake on it. I painted the puzzle pieces on it because of all the different years and parts that were on it.
