Couple updates for people who don’t follow me on social media. Made some hits in the car with the new changes and I’m happier than shit. I think I’m down mph on the big end though. Next time I go out I’m going to block my ram air and see if there’s any changes. Plotting the suspension really paid off.

I can't even imagine doing body work like this.... It's like... Where do you start/stop....

Right! It’s insane. Where to line things up, not getting too much heat and warping the panels ect. I guess the easier way is to overlap panels but they butted the panels up to each other and then welded and grinded the correct way now.

long story..my bro passed away at 43,it was his car..he was a hack...he changed motors constantly...with one leg,worked at a speed shop...he did his best...11:60 like you...on SBC..its a heavy car
I saved the car for 12 years.Did what needed to be done,did the cars shows etc...many trophies..it just was time to let go & move on sadly
It truly was a badasscar....miss it yes....$$$ no...storage,plates,insurance....
