    You PM'ed me back the other day. I knew that Rich was trying to get ahold of ya too.

    I would post up the details that you sent me, but you haven't made them public after 5 pages so I'll leave it that way.

    BTW, I saw the car on EBay a while ago, did you sell it?

    Perfect example of "less is more". Nothing on the car jumps out and kicks you in the nuts, it's just awesomely understated and very, very cool. This should be an example of how to do it right!

    Thanks alot. I've got $80 worth of dummy spotlights for my shoe that I've got to sell on ebay now I've seen how clean your car looks! :D

    Just gorgeous. I can stare at that all day.

    Edit: did you do anything to extend those rear quarters or something, or does it just look so different due to you getting rid of that seam?

    I wish that new owner was ME!!!!! Hey what did you use for the motor mounts? The ones from Opie's seem a little steep at $125+. Thinking about fabbing something myself.
