Just bare with me as I'm digging through old pictures and invoices from restorations gone by....

In the Summer of 2009 I finished the restoration on this original 1971 FJ6 340 4spd Cuda....Neat car, I restored it right to the broadcast sheet....even the no console, no radio 15" wheel car.....

I restored it for a local guy from Georgetown who ended up selling it a couple of years later....

So then the new owner from Hamilton ON....brought it back to me to change a few things...
The car is now a 440 Automatic  :o  with Control Freak front and rear suspension, and Wilwood brakes, Flaming River steering column, etc...

So as you see....originality is not important to everybody....and yes I cried a little....but "the customer is always right".... :haha:

Funny tidbit ...I think the brother of the first guy here in town still has the original broadcast sheet, because the second guy didn't want it, even for free...   :looney:

Wow! Didn't even want the original build sheet for the car.  I don't get that.  Even if your changing things around on the car.

Why would anyone do that to an original car like that.
