Didn't need a contest to name this one! The licence plate says it all!

Take some pics of the pertronix work if you would.
Specs: 1966 LWB FJ45, also red [what are the odds of getting two red 45s back to back for major upgrades!] Rebuilt 2F engine mated to all stock powertrain. IIRC, I built the engine back in '92, when Mike was back in high school.
Plans are to lift it via 4" Alcans, replace stock axles with 4 wheel discs, install power brake system, swap the 3 speed for a 4 speed and add Saginaw power steering. Planning to take the better part of a year with this one too.
But first I've got to do some major backtracking on the engine! Not only has this truck been sitting over 10 years since last driven, but a much younger Mike tempted the cruiser gods by painting the engine a hideous shade of YELLOW! In order to appease the gods and increase the odds of a successful project [as well as save my EYESI had to strip the motor to replace all the gaskets anyways and will be repainting the block.
