    Right on man - I need to get over and see the rear axle. Have you put the wheels on it yet to see how she fits?

    Mock her up, you'll have to squish to keep the distance of the grill shell close to original but it can be done. BBC's can look good when done right.

    The car is looking great. I like the way it's sitting and the roof looks like it came out sweet. Man, I can't believe how fast you guys move. If it's not the clock holding me back, it's my wallet! You and Carl are cut from the same cloth!
