Wow, that thing is fantastic! Have to ask about your dash pad. Do that yourself or NOS? looks brand new.

Thanks, Just Dashes restored the pad. I'm thinking about trying Dasboards Specialists for my Caliente; they're less but the reviews are mixed.

Somewhere on here I saw a picture of a black 202 from the rear. It gave me the idea to leave my trim piece off between the tail lights and just install the letters. Can someone direct me to that photo; I can't seem to find it again.

A couple of pics of my '67 Cyclone GT, it now has a fresh warmed-over 428 CJ & a built C-6, 3.25 TL. Only took 20+ years to get it to this point !!!!
1 st pic is the car as I found it sitting outside a body shop in San Diego, CA.... lots of surface rust but the body was solid... lots more parts missing than I was told about though.

Thank you for the kudo's B_Hix. That was my first resto in 22 years. As I've said before, I learned that I was a lot tougher in my 20's and more patient now. I'm excited about getting started on the Caliente but I need to get the Manx done first. That and I'm helping my buddy's build a 65 Shelby clone that is one bad mofo. I'll try and take some pictures next week when I'm out there.

My 66 Cyclone GT. I've had it for 9 years. It's going to a new home next week. As Warren Oats said in "2 lane blacktop" "can't stay on the same high forever"

1967 GT 390 4speed Polar White, tinted glass, my Dad sold it in March 1968 when I joined the USMC,
no idea what happened to it, I heard it may have been sold to a Geoff Carter near Marion, Indiana
I wonder if it survived, I still have the window sticker...VIN: 7H15S531785
