    Wow, nice to see the journey the car has been on. I only got to watch like half the chop on that Ford and the DVD skipped or my player died, I dont remember which. I was always curious if it got finished or what it looked like.

    That color rocks and the smoothed bumper is classy.

    Well done mate, the car looks great. Just showed the pic to my 3 year old son to show him what the pile of tin in the garage will look like one day! Showed the wife too in the hope of freeing up some funds:rolleyes: How has it been lowered and how much is it down from stock? It has an excellent stance! You might have started a new trend with the stock grill. Definately the way im going.

    Thanks Andy, not sure how low it is compared to stock, blocks out back and a Camaro clip up front w/ narrowed A arms.

    Getting it buttoned up, I got the headliner in and stitched up some door panels to match the seats Fatluckys did. My upholstery guy couldn't find the exact match but it's really close, the color's right on but there's not quite as much pearl in the new material.

    Almost finished... door solenoids and a trunk release cable up next.

    Thanks Redz, yeah it's a runner, actually got it out this weekend, had to sneak around cuz I'd transfered the tags to another vehicle when I took it apart for paint back in September. Got new plates today though - now if the weather would just get a little nicer..
