    The car is all done now and ready for the Woodward Dream Cruise this coming weekend in the north suburbs of Detroit. Its the Largest cruise/show in the world.

    In September I will put in the 3.55 posi. In November I will put in the bulletproof C4, new torque converter and a 75hp boost NOS.

    Let me know what you folks think.

    Anyone going to the Dream Cruise?

    The dream cruise is oficially 9 am to 9 pm on Saturday August 16, but cruisers are out in force on Wed.,Thursday and Friday nights. I would be nice to park a pack of Mavs during the event.

    If you like the paint and body work, I used a skilled paint and body man working out of his garage turned into paintshop. 30 years experience and does great work and most importantly very reasonable. I can give you his number. He works in the rural area of Ypsilanti. He is retiring from Ford where is was a paint and body guy during assembly, He knows his stuff.

    When looking at the pics checkout the chrome grill
