I feel your pain. I keep reading these horror stories about engine covers chopped for Type I carb setups, but I thankfully have not been subjected to such visual horror. Trashed suspensions are a more common sight to mine eyes. For every one well done custom ride you see in the glossy magazines, there must be five dozen backyard mutilations. Yes, they are maniacs to the 9th degree. I have much to complain about on my '69 such as rear hood hinge that is nearly worn through, rust under the roof gutter, horrible paint, worn out rear window defroster, cracked dashpad, and on and on, but it has never been trashed with insane modifications such as you describe. Should I decide to sell this car in the future, I hope to offer it to those people on the list that can appreciate a nearly bone stock ride such as yourself. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Nathan Jacobsen '62 NB '69 SB M/T ICQ #38633286 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> > I am looking for a 67-69 squarebak with a manual transmission that > hasn't been vandalized. > > Today I looked at 2.
