:bigthumb: Nice man! Did you find a painter yet?

Yeah we found a guy to do the door and quarter for $300 bucks with us providing the paint.


Got a new set of rims and tires pics to come.

Getting ready to bulk up a 700R4 to mate up to my 400 small block.


However, I've recently stumbled upon www.crateenginedepot.com

So now my future goal is to drop a LS in there.
