Sick Pony: 74' Sport Resto Mod for Trail and Street
#1
Ok, i have several threads going here, but they are kinda scattered and probably in the wrong places. so this is going to be the official Sick Pony build thread. I'm gonna start by posting up all of the pics i have taken thus far in the build. I bought the POS back in April of 2010. I tokk a complete break from it from june to about October, but now im back into it pretty hard. Im going to post up all the pics i have so far first. then as i make new headway, i can post up real time progress pics.

The first pics are from the PO, and this is pretty much how it looked when i got her trailered home to sumter.

you can see where a PO put a bunch of tar like crap down to seal in and attach junk patch panels... this was a royal PITA...
