Thanks fellers :) Joe I really thought about making the pipe thing work to be different, but I kept getting hung up on 60 extra pounds ;)

Fred, round here its something like: 'Dadgum boi thatuns a cool olt car". :mrgreen: I intend to work on the stance a bit - don't want to invest the cash to bag it, and a mustang II front is not happening either, so a poor man's lowering operation is in order - I have 1-inch lowering blocks for the rear...will cut the coils to get the front down 1.5" - good summer fun.

She's a lotta fun to drive... Did the video work for you guys? Was just a quick test, posting that one ^^. Looking forward to making a edited video this summer with plenty of 'live action' :mrgreen:

I like the hood. with the glossy paint before I couldnt tell what it looked like in pics. with the flatter paint its easy to see the scoops now, looks great! your new sig pic looks like you blacked in the grill which also looks good , but may just be the pic. you've come a long way with it, good job !!

Thanks :lol: The grill is actually red - just messed with the photo. Went with flat black rather than black/clear on the hood because I'm not sure the scoops won't crack again just yet - hate to paint it to have it bubble up or crack like the last time.
