    Even though it was basically done three months ago, I've had to do 2 cam changes. It's finally fixed and runs like a bat outa hell! Hopefully I will get it to the track before they close for the season.

    SPEECHLESS!!!!!!! I can go over a car like that for hours just drooling and stepping on my tounge. I been a judge at a big show in this area 4 years and I have seen maybe 1 or 2 cars that had that much attention to detail. Congrats!!

    Nice!

    I have been admiring your handiwork as you have posted pics along the way.

    That is a very nice car.

    Good job!

    What size tubing is that from the mufflers to the tailpipes?
    I have to go to the muffler shop soon and I've been told
    3 in. is impossible, didn't think I wanted that anyway,
    2.5 is difficult, what I was thinking of going with, and that
    2.25 would be better.

    After seeing the pictures of your outstanding vehicle, I must compliment you not only on your workmanship, but on the dedication to get all 6 sides of the car perfect.
    Tony

    PS I have'nt decided if your car has inspired me to get to work on mine or inspired me to call the junkyard to come and get the beast. :confused
