I'm trying to figure out how that tailgate opens...or is it not there?

 

[david79z28]

Thanks for adding the pics. Looks great!!!

What's the story on the 57 sitting next to it?

 

[bmwgalore]

That is one GIGANTIC car!

 

[RTexasF]

That is one rare bird! What's powering it?

 

[HotRodJoe]

In one of the pics, the tail gate isn't yet installed. However, it one of those that the window opens up, and the tailgate drops down.

It's not really that gigantic...60's and 70's cars are much larger.

It has a vortec 350 chevy for power, to many a Pontiac fans' disappointment!

The 57 chevy sitting beside it is my dad's personal car he built and shows. You wouldn't want to see it...it's got zaino all over it!

Okay, here is his zaino mobile:
