    Winter Project...Got one?

    Howdy everyone!
    I've been working on this detroit muscle car Restoration Project on/off for 11 years.
    A 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT 429 CJ Nicknamed by my friends "THE BEAST" I call it a money pit. I'll post some pics here, update as I make progress.

    In 2008 this car ran at Sacramento Raceway on a 100 degree day with a best E.T of 12.47 sec. @ 118 mph in the 1/4 mile. That's on street tires, thru the mufflers. 429 cubic inches (7.0L) Dyno'd at 458 horses(5500rpm) and 570 Ft/lbs. torque (3200 rpm)
    Now that all the drivetrain is done...the HARD part is next...

    The body is rust free...but, every square inch of this car has dents.:mad2: BODYWORK... It's a real struggle.sometimes I feel like giving up...maybe this will help. Go for a drive. LOL

    Here is a link to my gallery ->- CJ MERC http://gallery.photographyreview.com...l&si=Cobra_Jet

    My project is to organize my work space. It's like a hoarder's room at this moment.

    I've been enrolled in a wedding project.

    The happy couple want to redo Impressionist paintings as photos featuring themselves. There are three photographers involved and so far we have spent two whole days on it, in the same places as Renoir, Monet, Manet etc. did their pieces 140 years ago.

    On Sunday we were at the Maison Fournaise at Chatou for "Dejeuner des Canotiers". I had to play the guy standing on the left..

    I'll show some results, if I can get permission from the people

    Not buying any more gear this year. I hope
