Well the body and the interior does, lol. I don't have to tell you he has enjoyed the hell out of this car over the decades. The original engine/trans/rearend had about 180,000 on it before it was pulled for the first refresh that started with a 455, rebuilt original 400 turbo, and a chevy 12 bolt swapped in. That was back in the late 80's or early 90's. Eventually that morphed into a couple more 455's getting progressively faster. That led to the current 571 cube Pontiac about 2 years ago, and a different 400 turbo beefed up at that time. The original 400 turbo was then retired permanently and resting next to the original engine and rearend now.

All the front suspension was rebuilt back in the late 80's as well. This time around the front suspension is getting refreshed with some tubular components installed, a different set of springs etc...

More of that with pics will come later this week, then the engine and front sheet metal will go back on. Try to have this ready for the big Watson Lake show first weekend of August.
