I have been detailing the bottom and while cleaning the drive line this weekend I noticed these makes first is orange second looks cream yellowish and had a yellow X toward rear and blue smuge on the tranny yoke, curious what they meant

The color stripes were for the trans. or balanced and the mark on the yolk would be that the pinion is set.

I was wondering about this car a week or two ago, thanks for the cool updates!
Have you sent in for the NCRS dealer info yet...it may offer nothing more than a clue to the history but worthwhile for all it costs also help you decide how to fill your dealer emblem holes?

I went ahead and ordered one today but after failing to find any past on this car I am sure it is just some old street beater someone built, at least it will be cool to have the NCRS dealer info.

Been a few months for me again, but it looks like 2016 is the year for Beater to see the light of day again, this thing has been sleeping way too long, who knows how long before me... Did rear brake lines last night and finished up e brake cables, It goes to upholstery here in a few weeks need to hurry my rear up...

I decided to go with a f70x15 on the car, the wheels are original TT's I have had for years with some new Firestone's, I still have the original steel wheels with skinny's and slicks but they were real old and I wouldn't think of driving on them might sell them not sure I would ever even put them back on car?? The car is getting close I am just finishing up the dash now then I can put the steering column in and the drivers fender back on and finish up the front clip, I should buff it next week and give it a serious detailing and then to the upholstery shop.

Sweet tire/wheel combo....

[PeteLeathersac]

Great to see the update and your progress w/ the car!
Love the tire/wheel combo too also hoping to see at least pics of the old tires/rims on the car?
Did you get the NCRS result or find out anything more of the car's history yet?

I did get the NCRS it was another dead end but glad I got it, car was sold new in Texas I cant remember the name, Only thing I know it was sold in Texas went to CA and then UT other than that I have given up finding out any history on the car I will just enjoy it for what it is. The car itself is turning out real nice it will be fun to drive.

Trying to get the dash finished up so I can get the column back in and the drivers fender on, ran into a few things I needed to finish the dash so decided to wet sand and buff while I'm waiting for them, I just sat the original windshield in and the back glass to keep water out, all the glass has a issue here and there I think I will replace all the glass except the quarter glass they have some cool decals I want to leave with the car.

Sorry for the bad phone pics time for a upgrade I think..
