  8. Car is looking great. I will be following your thread as well. I like the wheel choice. They are really cool. What is Seret's going to do to your car?

    You think the tach was hard to find, try finding a Twin Blue automotive speedo.

  16. Really Nice!!!

    I've just about got the 21 stud out of mine. Need to detail the 24 stud and slide it in.
    Sounds easy enough - why does it seem to take forever???

    Oooooh that's sweet. Hopefully Scott and his crew at Blue Collar Customs will be firing mine up next week. Keeping my fingers crossed that the motor is good.
