Little Red Riding Hood
New nickname for the little red car.
Took a few pictures, this one came out well at Berkley Plantation off Route 5 between Williamsburg and Richmond. Great rural drive for those interested.
Some random mother and daughter in the park, her shoes matched and she wanted so sit in the car.
Three from Skyline Drive last year. I'm no photographer, just trying with my point and click.
The suspension is easy to work on, here's the front passenger setup. 550# springs to keep it from bottoming out, but lends itself to understeer.
Engine (Ford 302, 5.0L from a Mustang GT) is very easy to work on with the hood flipped forward. Note the Y-shaped headers with no mufflers or cats. Have exhaust cones to act as a noise suppression device and provide slight backpressure needed at idle. Take them out and it's loud as shit but runs like it, too. You can see the 4" tubular frame powdercoated sliver with clear coat in this picture.
Interior shot (yeah colors are washed out with the flash and white balance, I can't take photos very well). Yes, that is a push button start! Bottom row are the heating controls. Seat and back warmers, two stage. Foot box heaters using a defroster motor to blow warm air into the footboxes, comes in very handy after sundown driving back with no top!

Re: Little Red Riding Hood
Very, very rare kit. 
Out of 39 total kits, only about 12-13 are on the road. Money pit for sure, but so much fun!
I like to work on my vehicles myself, have a lift in the garage. Buying another house that has more garage and workshop space than the entire house!
