    Hey Al! Thank you! ill get better pictures up tomorrow of the thing with the number and everything actually painted on. The wheels are getting powder coated the ivory color too and pin striped. I have the coolest set up for the dash going in there. The V8 quickchange, we should have installed by next weekend!

    Oh and btw John, we have a 14 car garage at the house. Its not just hot rods we play with, my son races dirtbikes, wakeboard, mountain bikes. The garages are full!

    Paint is all done! Next is the rear end, gas tank, we are going to cut the rear frame horns off and re weld them on the top of the frame. Its really makes the rear end look good with the Halibrand V8 quickchange.

    Thanks Al! Ya I just thought that it would have been a great place to give just a little personal touch. The rear tires are 700x18's I believe. Id have to go look real quick!
