Scott & Vicky at West Coast Nationals 2003 won "Best of Show" !

Originally we purchased the car in 1998. The car was previously restored in 1993 by the same shop that was going to do some minor body work and a new paint job. The car was gold and I hated that color. So technically......."A Paint Job Only"? Right. I took one look at the engine bay and knew I had to address the ugliness. Well seeing that I knew I would not be satisfied with stock. The Z bug bit hard and the next thing I knew the car was in about million pieces and the rest is hiztory.
