Its a 1972 mexico on a body roll jig me an me brother made. once stripped you bolt the bodyshell to the spit so you can rotate the car as you work on it. its a must when doing a concourse restoration makes it so much easier on your knees and back plus time saved. I plan to change the avatar as the car progresses.

before I was a spread i used to be a paintsprayer/panelbeater
