    When you're done,you need to do some side by side,before and after shots....It's hard to believe it's the same car!

    By FAR the best build of 2010. Just goes to show what you can do with a mix of all the right parts.

    Good job!

    If it was mine I'd be doing as Bob suggessted. You can always change it later.

    Below is a link to a kiwi 5 window that would look great given the same treatment :)

    i saw a fibergl*** car today. the thing was 90% proper. he had a flaming river aluminum billet steering wheel and a red HEI behind a 3 deuce intake & finned valve covers on a SBC...the HEI was my only gripe.

    they are cell phone pics, please excuse

    I like how you have set up the engine compartment. One thing about the gl*** body is that the firewall is already built to house an early Cadillac motor. You are doing a great job!

    'Gl*** gets a bad rap. Think about all the "real" steel cars that are far from traditional. Thumbs up.
