Great build and I am so glad your dad got to see it completed!
On a side note, I am not sure how those guys shifted gears in those trucks with the giant balls they must have had to drive them! Holy smokes!!
I heard these Colts were absolute terrors to drive. Very unpredictable, but what would you expect with that short of a wheelbase and stupid amounts of power? Great topic, I look forward to seeing the finished result!
Sure do! I bought this car back in 2003 and have spent quite a bit of time and money bringing it back to life. I normally am a purist when it comes to engines, but I am really tempted to sell the factory 400 (rebuilt) and put in a nice fuel injected LS motor out of a late model GM truck.
