    Looks good. Just think how nice it will look when you get the seat finished.
    You're going to like it. As much thought as you have put into every detail of this car, I'm sure your choice will be the right one in. Everthing else turned out great, all due to your other choices.
    Don't dispair, junior.

    You need a couple of six-packs and a few lap-dances and you'll feel better.

    My $.02..... Not that it means alot......

    I'm with you, I like it, just not in love with it, but just wait until the rest of the interior goes in, might change your mind....

    Like Mazooma said.... Everything else is top notch, so I don't doubt the interior will be anything different.

    Makoto came and went...but in the meen time he spilled some 1-shot on my grille, headlights, dash and decklid!!! Fuck it looks soooooo perfect...Been making my own wood for the top and still hunting down an interior guy....Clutch should be finally up and working in a few days...cant wait to make it move under its own power....Not too much else but some final clean-up things ( I made a list) think I still might wait for GNRS. Itll be done in Dec, but Im a hard-ass and Im gonna make y'all wait!

    He is on the HAMB as gillgonzalez<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_2125822", true); </SCRIPT> - but it's better to contact him on Myspace or email.

    dude, we KNOW you didnt take it for a spin and only get two photos... or maybe you were just having to much fun to be worried about the camera... I don't blame you!

    Been keeping tabs for a while, scared that the striping would ruin it. My worries are set aside, it's the perfect touch like Devilrod said.

    Beautiful work. Don't worry about the shows and spots and mags man... worry about what's important:

    Hauling down the road with your arm out the window and a big ole grin on your mug.

    :eek: IEJKHJAUAOELSJGMHJHJ :eek: #$%^(#^%$*$($()$)^)& :eek:

    WOOWWWWWW!!!! HOLY COW!!!! I LOVE IT!!! I don't know how I missed the updates on this car, but HOLY COW!!! :eek:

    Beautiful... simply put! Your attention to detail is fantastic! I love the paint! I love the stance! That drive train looks KILLER and nice to see someone thinking aoutside the box on their intake selection! EVERYTHING looks GREAT! Can't wait to see this thing! :eek:

    Only a couple quick questions... how much did you cut down that grille shell and did you have to do any weird cuts to make everything line up as it got shorter?

    Looks awesome!
