67 6cyl, As you can see by my list of modifications I have done a lot to this car, but the single best thing I ever did to it was that rack and pinion swap.  bar none.  I am building a 67 now and that is very definitely on my list of things to do.

Thanks.  but I can't take credit for the color choice.  I knew it was time to repaint it and I knew my wife had to be convinced so I let her pick the color.  I think she made a good choice and it makes her happy to be able to tell people that it was her choice.
