Some of you may have seen pictures of my father's pro-street Hemi powered Willys, well I get home from Cassville this morning and get the call to come down the shop and look at something, which I really didn't feel like after last night;), but went anyway and saw the new toy, 1965 altered wheelbase Dodge!

Sweet
I LOVE the Willys, BUT ALTERDS GIVE ME A WOODIE! Nice ride! Old school TOO COOL!
Is that a resto mod or one of the real deal funny cars?
No, it's a "tribute" they only made 6!Quote:

This was a light weight. I was poor and subjected to restoring this thing. The owner of this ran the parts in an OMC dealership!!! Aluminum fasteners, door hinges, etc. All the metal parts on on the front cap were super thin. As were the doors... As were ALL the windows less the front. I am talking super thin.
