Clyde

73 Chevy Laguna

Only about 7,000 were made. Its a antique.

It has round lights on the back, guess they decided to go with the square lights the next year.

Clyde has raced a Nija motorcycle.

When Chris was in the air force, he was going about 130 when the engine blew up.

The piston rod shot out of the engine. He still wanted it. So he rebuilt the engine.

He was in the air force at the time and had access to the tools at the shop.

So he put a lot of high performance stuff in it.

In 1993 Chris and I blew the transmission doing donuts and burnouts.

The car sat in his parents backyard until the summer of 1997

He was going to sell it.

But he didn't have the paper work on all the money he put in the engine.

No one wanted to give him that much for it.

So Chris said "I am fixing Clyde up".

Spent 2 summers on it.

Did all the body work, got the transmission rebuilt. Sanded under, cleaned out the trunk.

I helped a little taking the tint off the windows, sanding, cleaning.

Still needs work done carpet, sanded, stripped, body work, repainted.

But over all it is in good shape.

4 new tires and rims that have become a little weathered.

Has been on blocks in my garage for a few years. Needs alot of body work, battery, brakes.

The rebuilt transmission has about 5000 miles on it. The rebuilt 350 engine has about 35,000 miles on it.

Rusty out under the back window, the sil needs to be replaced and the whole body needs to be soaked.

Laura's favorite Toyota truck.
