    this isnt just another one in kentucky, but another one in somerset. I think this makes 8 cars in a 5 mile radius. for those of you that are familiar with our group in somerset, ky., you probably remember the guy everyone knows as "Smirk". he's the new owner of this car and he's on the brink of restomodding it. this car is a 73 6 cylinder car (not sure which 6). so far i think the plans are a v8 swap and grabber blue paint.

    those of you who are familiar may recognize Smirks car

    knowing Smirky, he'll have it done by the mcg meet. i talked to him earlier today and i think he's leaning towards a small bumper conversion:thumbs2: and a disc brake upgrade. he's trying to keep it a budget car, but knowing his skill level it wont look "budget". should be a really nice little car when he's done

    For those who don't know Smirk. He does all the painting down there also. His wife's GTO is pretty nice also.:)
