That's what it's all about. We hav a family airloom. 67 Fairlane GT. all original. 12k on it. My grandfather bout it brand new. Between my brother and I and my father. We've put a few miles on it lol. My brother actually put it in a crate 3 years ago. Put a great detail on it and packed her up. Those pics. R on my old phone. I gota try and get those out. Nothin like an old cruiser.

Lmao, not like the ones today that are made of tin (not literally) because they're so thin and easily bendable.

Got it, it's way different than the '71 Buick I have obviously so I wasn't sure. Just asked cause my dad's '05 Expedition has a transmission cooler that looks similar, just a different heat sink design.

i need to go through and update this again, SO much has changed with the car in the past 3 years

new intake manifold gaskets, distributor, new exhaust system (running 2 cherry bombs now), new air cleaner housing to suck more air in. I'll go through pics later
