Typically when someone puts "Fast" in an ad for a car they are selling, I stop right there and move on to the next one.

I would be interested to know what a "4 inch Crowl hood" is. ::-): Yes I realize they meant Cowl hood.

That is not a bad looking car and from what is visible in the photo's it appears that someone took some pride in their workmanship. I hope it finds a good home. Thanks for sharing.

Keep us updated. At least you are still working on it and not letting it sit.

Nice looking! At first I thought it was black. What is the official color anyway?
