    Sanded the roof for 5 hours! It's so pretty! Needs a little filler and have to knock down a couple high spots... Then some primer, blocking, primer, blocking blocking blocking.

    The way it's looking right now it's coming out very well...
    The car will be black with white GT stripes!

    besides freeze my feet and hands. hooked up the tranny oil lines tied up some wiring, finished hooking up the tach, and worked on a gauge mount in place of the radio. and checked for a glove box light plug nuts not there.

    Well did the Xmas thing untill about 2 and went out to the shop, got the air board out sanded it quickly and threw a layer of filler on it again to get the curve shaped nicer...came back into the house and doubt I'll back out there.. It's cold and snowing..had the heat on in the shop but the 50' walk in the snowy wind isn't too fun.

    Just go to your statistics on your Public Profile and look at all of the posts you have started or replied to..................I just saw your question about asking if anyone had a similar setup as yours, and I'm sure if you start a new thread you will get some reponses.
    I'd like to help, but my car has a 408 which put out 642hp at the fly wheel at 6800rpm, and although you didn't mention what kind of rearend setup you, I am running 31x13x15 slicks and 4:56 gears. The 1/8 time was 6.17 and 1/4 was 9.801.............my car is a little on the heavy side at 3125 without me and 3350 with me.
    So based on your 10.7's..........I'd say you were doing very well indeed with your little 347!
