    well its been on the road now for a couple of weeks and i been spending that time working out all the little bugs that keep popping up. you know the deal, fix one thing and then 5 more things pop up. the car is running pretty smoothly now, and i must say it is a blast to drive! but enough about all of that time for some pictures, i was waiting to get some better shots before posting but im over it so here are some quick shots.

    With those seats then that gives a whole new meaning to "Hard Ass", What kind of brakes are you running in the rear I don't see any in the front?

    it has all brand new 9inch hardware int the rear and i do have front brakes for it i just need to do the machining on the buick drums. even with just the rear brakes it stops on a dime but for peace of mind it will get the fronts

    that car is rad. I love it. I think it needs a little more chrome(caps, door handles, etc.) and maybe some pinstriping to break up the blue. Its looking great though. Nice job.

    (oh yeah, im a sucker for blue!)
