Don’t have any recent ones, I bought it this winter and its still in storage. It needs a TON of work before its even ready for an engine tho. Its a little resto project for me. Body and frame is in good shape, but needs a few holes in the floor fixed. Its your typical bright orange '71 Z. Don’t worry, I’ll be starting a build thread with lots of pics when I get it out of storage. ---
