Refurbishing "Pearl"

Post by eye »

Hello
Been on the site for a while and saving wheeled vehicles from dumpsters for decades. Inherited "Pearl" for doing some work I did on a 63 single carb 1500 that a friend owned.
"Pearl" needs some love.Ok, a lot of love.
Too far gone to restore so I am building a hot rod and still keeping it on the road. SR20 Borg Warner turbo with 5 speed, big brakes, Ford 8.8 rear, etc..
Thanks for the site and all the info.
Anybody else in NC?

After seeing your last project, I'm super interested to see where you go with this! Sorry I wasn't in the office when you stopped by.

It will be nothing as sweet as the one you are building!
Thanks again for the goodies.

She already has been hit with the cutoff wheel and welder a bit. The inner fender cutouts are for the intercooler piping and the firewall cutout is for the battery. Wilwood swing pedals up inside under the dash.
