    If I saw that car in my rear view mirror, I would definetly get out of the way. The stance, hood scoop and mags look awesome. How hard is it to trim the wheel well?

    Nice stance! What did you do to the suspension to get it to sit like that? Can I come by and look at it sometime?

    Wow, what a great response. I even got a complement from Thack. I'm overwhelmed. Thank you all for providing such a great forum to tune-in to day after day for motivation and ideas.



    OK lets see, to answer a couple ???



    How do you cut fender wells, how long did it take, how hard was it to do?

    I dont know. I took the car to the body shop and showed them pictures of the Tammy's car. I think they did a pretty decent job.

    How do you lower the car the "right way”?

    Hmmm, I'll let you know when I figure it out. My suspension is not without problems. I6 coils in front had 1.5 coils removed. Its sits nice but is to loose for my taste. I plan to go with something diff in the near future.

    Can I come by and look at it sometime?

    Sure, but I'm hard to catch. I will be at the Mini-meet in Waco on 10/16. Come on out and join us.
