    Hey Tim, I'm still looking for the fuel injection air duct if you run across one. I have everything, including nameplates and flags but still need an plenum air duct. I'm using a piece that looks pretty good but not original........Thanks,Mike

    One look and you can feel it - what can't even be named; this thing has it. You have the look down to the atom. Amazing proportions. I'll be watching this build like a hawk. Hats off to you buddy. I can't believe I've missed this one until now..

    Thanks a bunch Chris, I really appreciate it. I'll shoot you a pm.

    Skip, the car is amazing. Easily my favorite custom, and I'm not much for full bodied cars. I'm glad I got to see the transition from when you first got it until now. It's been a long road, but buddy you nailed it.

  23. I like what you've done. I looks really good. Best thing of all is that this car means something to you since it belonged to someone you really cared about. I've got something like that. My grandpa gave me his truck six months before he died. Its an old C10, but it was really all he had. Keep up the good work man. Looks awesome.

    He Skip, I just can't get enough of that car, I was showing it to my wife last night and she loved it, I've been looking for something else to build for her and now I think I know what it might be. Thanks for sharing this awesome build with us.
