Some more pics

Second set of Pics.

Hello, I have decided that I must part ways with my 40. Here is quick description and details. You can see more in my build thread, the pictures below, or ask questions. I think I can post a way to reply other than this, so here is my email. [email protected] 1966 Ford GT MKI RCR...
