    Great looking car. Love that Grabber Blue/White combo. Sprints have that combination and I have always been partial to it.

    Think you will have it ready for the show I mentioned in Louisville in August? It would make a hit there.

    the floor was mudding as well but it dried up. the pic was taken about 6 days after it was brought in :)

    I'm hoping so. im finishing up some loose ends this weekend and installing carpet and such so we'll see what happens :dancing:

    it's a painted top. it came factory like that. that's one of the reason i chose to keep it like that :thumbs2:

    I would also like to thank anyone and everyone for their help and contribution. There's no way i could have built this car this quick w/o the help of this forum. Some offered advice, other I have purchased parts from and for many of you I have sold parts to you..... but no matter the case it all helped get this car to where it is and I Thank You!


    P.S. I'll have some better pictures posted up later today!
