The old pPlague made its last trip cross country in 2006... Its been sitting static every since and had many parts cannibalized off it.. I decided that we'd get it back on the road for the spring so here are a few pics... Its being sprayed this week!

No, the same guy that did the body work/ paint on my 356 did it.. He is in Hull.. We did all the body work, just had him shoot it. _________________ Jake Raby

Got the windows installed today... Next comes putting the gearbox back in then addressing some suspension upgrades.
Looks like I am gonna slid the engine in it that I was going to use for my 356, its an 84X96 MassIVe power plant making 220HP... The 356 is coming along so bad ass that I have almost decided to bolt a Turbo TIV into it. _________________ Jake Raby

Something to make it launch better :-)
If you look closely you'll see that window isn't glass. _________________ Jake Raby
