I half expect this to get kicked off TRaK. I'm using a parts pac 354 Cadillac engine. I don't know what the hell year it is !! Anyway, The turtle deck is going. I patched it with a piece of roof off a junk NASCAR body to have a little curvature. And as the title suggests, I'm planning on raising the roof back up.   |

Salvage yard failed to produce a rear end. so I'll have to resort to scratching and bashing. I needed this to determine the kickup at the rear of the frame.   |

Frame is pretty much zero'd in, just a few details. And a couple more times over the body and it'll be ready for paint.  |
