Blue '68 sold! Full price on the first day. Buyer flew in yesterday and is on his way back to San Diego. He was very excited.

On the lookout for the next project.

So here's the newest addition...

My dad picked this up this morning. It's called a Fierro (not Fiero :lol: ) and is supposed to be one of only 7 completed cars. This particular car was built about 30 years ago and had been in a couple magazines back in the early '80s. It used to be red with gold Enkei 5 spoke wheels. The kit utilized a Vega rear hatch along with Pinto doors and windshield. The taillights are 280ZX and the markers are some other Datsun. It's ridiculously low and the roof is only about waist high on me. I probably won't have much involvement in this project. My dad plans to finish the interior, bolt in a pretty stock engine, and then he and my brother will give it a resale red repaint. Stay tuned.

That little thing is sweet! I thought I recognized those taillights. The headlights remind me of an early 240z.

They had a clear Plexiglass cover over the "sugar scoops" at one time. He picked up a rebuilt engine yesterday.

I also found a couple earlier pics of this car online:

Meanwhile, in the paint shop...

...fixing the scrape on the Neon.

Neon is done and out of the booth. My dad moved his car in and started disassembly. He has the engine in but it required different exhaust to clear the body.

Once it was driven into the booth he put it on jackstands and started stripping it down and sanding.
