have to thank jay92,85,79 off these boards for all his many hours of bodywork and paintwork on this car to get it where it is today....still didn't mount the front clip obviously. just dropped in the motor today, will bolt stuff up tomorrow and hopefully fire it up in the next couple of days.

color is ultra blue metallic, i think it's a corvette color from a 2000 ish vette.
the wires hanging under the car are the senders for the fuel tank for fuel level, i need to zip tie them up sooner or later. The silver thing is my fuel filter, since i'm running a sumped gas tank with 1/2" lines, a canister style fuel filter(silver thing) and a holley 140 gph pump electric pump out back.
i ditched the ground effects, because the nose looked like someone went curb hopping with it, plus it was ugly. so i got metallicamaroRS's ground effects off this board in trade.

Beutiful car I like the color. I have a quick question, what kind of wheels are those? They look a lot like my old Cragers, and I have curb rash on a few
and they are a pain in ___ to balance!! I love the look of the wheels with our cars!
Thanks

haha kevin,
you crack me up, and yes if they made the car faster i'd buy one. who knows maybe i'll order one in a month or two after i'm done building this thing, spent just under $1400 in the past month on the car, don't think i want to toss around much cash right now.

got the exhaust all bolted up with my true duals again, need to move onto wiring tomorrow, then hopefully fire it up shortly and see if the neighbors still like me or not...lol. should have pics of the front nose back on it in a few days, then it'll look like a real car even.
