Awesome. I've seen so many fast cars recently that now both my cars seem pitifully slow. Add yours to that list of fast cars.

i noticed the video is hosted on the Rhodes Auto server...did you have Ron do any work on the car? those guys over there really know their stuff!

i saw this car in person a few weeks ago in Atco at the N/A Shootout and it's simply badass guys! thing looks like you could cruise it down main street. everything is still there! just wish you had kept the radio in it, though the switch panel you put there looks really good!
