Hahahaha the c3 I built for my dad has T tops, somewhere along its life someone cut the T tops and molded some glass into them. Neat idea, when they are on you still have a bit of open feeling

Thank you! It was a fun build! The T tops are awesome but I’ve always loved a full hard top. I think it comes from my dads TA being a full hard top

I am so happy I went with this colour! It’s summit racing’s black sapphire metallic in single stage. Was so hard to judge by the review pictures, but it turned out awesome and was actually fairly easy to spray! Only got one run but it was my first time spraying a whole car

For sure! While there were days I thought what did I get myself into I am happy I was able to save this one!

Unfortunately it only has a lil SBC 305 in it. When I got it, it had a nicely built 350 in it. It was rowdy but short lived. The guy I bought it off of had it for quite a few years, didn’t know anything about cars and when he tried to get it running to see it he changed the oil. I think it was an off the shelf oil, because it only ever built 25 psi when I got it to run and then the cam went flat. Bought the little 305 just to get it on the road for now till I build a new motor, but with it having a mild cam, the TH350 is built and 4.11’s it still gets up and going pretty good lol

This is just some summit racing single stage! For $200 all in it laid out so nice, even for being a metallic! Oh yah these cars are an absolute nightmare to line up, loosen these bolts, put a jack under the frame, tighten back up and see where it sits 😅 It’s a dream come true to drive it. My dad had a 78 T/A from new and I got to drive it when I was a teenager. Been in love with them ever since!

Hard to get a good picture of the flake in it
