    So thats where you were yesterday. Gotta say, 2 things got done, calanders and that. Nice work.

    The only thing you've got to worry about now is KIRK! logging in on your account since he's already there...naked...eeeew.

    PM me so we can figure out what to do with this trans. I'm in Lansing on Friday 8:30-12:30.

    Nice job Mike! In my experience doing custom work, doing the other side is not nearly as fun, but you can learn plenty trying to get it close to the same contours. Way to go!

    If I showed you all the lame attempt I made at the fender skirts for my Capri, you would tar and feather me and run me outta here.

    I see you build customs the same way I do - skip ahead to all the fun metal work and then worry later about how to make it run & drive. ;)

    Nice work man.

    you my friend have huge balls! that looks awesome though, only thing is now you only have the option of always running skirts.
    looks clean though...

    i did'nt much care for the car sans skirts and i have'nt seen any premade skirts i liked much for it either so it works out pretty good as far as i'm concerned.
    i've got alot of hours into it but it realy was'nt that complicated. keep an eye out for the tech piece in the mag.

    Very cool. I wanted to extend the rear fenders on my 48 pontiac the same way you did. It looks good.

    Mike: who says you have to do both sides? A guy can only see one side at a time
