Welcome 56 Sweety

Thanks for joining up with the chapter - I have a sneaking suspicion that this beautiful 56 that was seen at Jeff's fun run last Saturday belongs to you:

Here's a little info on 56 Sweety -- it was a resto. done in late 70's with a 327 w/ 400 auto & 9in. originally set up to pull horse trailers.
Since I got it in 2000 there's been some changes -- now has IFS ( custom weld in cross member), IRS ( C-4 Corvette), crate 350 (bolt in), PS, PB,AC, all stock body except for 3 in. extra wide rear fenders and full tilt front end (fenders & hood).
