    Take your time Brotha. It needs to be a labor of love. You've given us all enough inspiration to get on for the next year or so.

    Thanx for all the positive feedback guys! Been working my ass off on this rear treatment and I have about 2 weeks on that rear bumper alone, almost done though! One big rear bumper for sure! Hope the polisher goes to the gym! ImageUploadedByTJJ1319573402.596030.jpg

    Not much I can say that hasn't already been said.

    Great metalwork and all that of course, but my god, the car is stunning.

    I must have shown that picture from when you rolled it out into the driveway, from the side, to about 20 people, and car people or not they agreed it was stunning.

    I really like the 3 headlight idea, and the choice of the stock caps. I love wires, but they aren't right for this build.

    IMO, I don't care about the look of radials, they just ride so much better, but I'm pretty young and of course it's your car.

    DUUUUUUUUUUUDE! You guys are way too nice!!!! :) Haven't been slacking, just took me way too long to make this bumper fit perfect.... GAPS. I have a few pics , but definitely a big update once im totally finished with the rear, which im very close!!!!

    Thanx so much for all the positive feedback, means a lot !!! It's been the hardest kustom work I've done so far in my very short career and it's frustrating at times when you don't have all the tools you need to do the job right... So it just takes a little more time!!! Oh well.........:(....:)

    :):)
