    Thanks guys for the comments, will see if Aaron can post some progress pics, did meet up with the platers, Whitworxs outta lincoln ark. friday and got the bumpers and to say the least they are gorgeous! Did a fantastic job on them.Front clip is painted and buffed, ready to go back on her. Guys from Chaotic Customs and Fast Al's (aaron lawrence) interior are really busting their butts to get this together for Starbird / Devlin show on the 17th and doing an unbelievable job on her, the quality of all their work is perfect!

    Planning to drive the wheels off of her this summer, maybe some long road trips!
     
  28. Here is the car in its current state. It's got a few details to round up but it's looking fantastic as it is!
