Restoration of a 1969 Boss 302

Looks to be an incredibly solid project.  But hey, what do you expect, it's a California car.  Nice, dry, rust free.  What's not to like?
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Let it continue I say. The peak of Everest is there and you keep going or perish in the process until you get to the top. But you never stop.

Very kool !
These cars are meant to be driven so enjoy the hell out of all of it. Not just the look of it when its all cleanCS

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs.It's jolted by every pebble on the road

you would think that the narrator would know that mystery hole in the fender is where the antenna is mounted on a 69 non Shelby. I see that is isn't like what we normally see(hole plus 4 screw holes).
Shelby owner since 1984
SAAC member since 1990
1970 GT350 4 speed(owned since 1985).
  MCA gold 2003(not anymore)
1969 Mach1 428SCJ 4 speed R-code (owned since 2013)
